Effect of Different Binder on the TiC Reinforced Steel Matrix Surface Composites

In this paper, TiC reinforced steel matrix surface composites were prepared by vacuum evaporative casting infiltration process and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The effect of original composition, binder types and original coating density on the hardness, wear resistance and microstructure of the coating were also studied. The results showed that the Ti and C content was 80% while added 3% PVA, by pressed at 200MPa pressure leading optimal coating quality. Meanwhile the average hardness was 62.5HRC and the wear rate was 22 % of high manganese steel.
