316L stainless steel composites with various weight fractions of TiC particles were prepared using warm compaction and microwave sintering. Abrasion resistance measurements were used to study the abrasive behaviors of TiC-316L stainless steel composites. The effects of TiC content and preparation methods on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel composites have been investigated. The results showed that the sample prepared by warm compaction and microwave sintering exhibited significantly superior densification, higher hardness, and better abrasion resistance when compared with conventionally processed counterpart. TiC particles reinforcement improved the abrasion resistance of 316L stainless steel, and the abrasion resistance of the composites was considerably better than that of the 316L stainless steel. The volume loss initially decreases with increasing TiC content up to 5 wt.%, it then slightly increases as increase the TiC particles content to 10 and 15 wt.%. In this present abrasion tests, the composites using 5 wt.% TiC addition offers a high abrasion resistance. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 The Society of Powder Technology Japan. Published by Elsevier BM.
