The deposition of a thin (several tens of microns) protective coating in atmospheric
conditions is a challenging task for surface engineering. The structural features and …

A TiC/Fe composite was produced by a novel process which combines in situ with powder
metallurgy techniques. The microstructure of the Fe–TiC composite was studied by scanning …

To improve the wear resistance of Fe-based cladding, NbC particles with different
morphology are generated in situ by adding Nb, Cr 3 C 2 and C with different content. The …

The present review focuses on the recent development of steel matrix composites and their
advancement. Stainless steel has broad application but its critical drawbacks, such as poor …

Despite being softer and more expensive than TiC, which is usually the preferred choice for
reinforcements in a steel matrix, NbC has been shown to be a potential reinforcement for …

This paper studies the change in properties of powder metallurgy 316L stainless steel,
depending on kind of added reinforcement and its amount and the sintering atmosphere …

Tantalum carbide (TaC) is known to have a remarkable influence on mechanical properties
of metal-matrix composites thanks to its high hardness, high melting point, excellent wear …

In present study, the structural and wear properties of as-plated and heat-treated electroless
Ni-P alloy and Ni-P-Si 3 N 4 composite coatings on iron based powder metal (PM) compacts …

A study was made of the change in properties of 316L stainless steel depending on the type
and the amount of added reinforcement. The reinforcements used were Cr2Al, Cr2Ti, VC …

Mixtures of AISI M2 high speed steel and vanadium carbide (3, 6 or 10 wt.%) were prepared
by powder metallurgy and sintered by concentrated solar energy (CSE). Two different …
