In this study, the wettability and interaction of TiB2with melted iron and iron-molybdenum alloys have been investigated. The wetting contact angles were determined, the structure and phase composition of the drops have been investigated by the methods of energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The results showed that TiB2–(Fe-13%Mo) system prove to be an optimum one for the new cermets production because of good wetting and minimal interaction between components. The TiB2-(Fe-13wt.%Mo) cermets were produced by sintering in vacuum. The influence of initial TiB2particles size on the structure formation of the cermets above has been established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
