AbstractCopper matrix composites containing ceramic particles such as carbides, borides, or nitrides have attracted much attention over the last few years. The increased interest in such materials has mainly been created by their high electrical and thermal conductivity, good mechanical and tribological properties, and microstructural stability. Among other nitrides, the titanium nitride seems to be considered as an attractive reinforcement due to its high hardness, excellent electrical conductivity, and stability at high temperatures. Moreover, its good corrosion resistance proves the uniqueness of the TiN particles above any other nitrides. In this work, Cu-10 wt.% TiN composite powders were produced by mechanical alloying and sintered by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique under different temperatures. The morphology and powder particle size after mechanical synthesis were inspected by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for all of the powder samples; chemical composition analyses (EDS) were also performed. The hydrostatic method was used to measure the density of the composite samples to analyze the influence of milling time on the process of consolidation in the composite powders. Keywords: copper matrix composites, mechanical alloying, spark plasma sintering, titanium nitrides, powder metallurgy

Recyclable aluminum after machining was used to make composites using the SPS method. Due to the SPS method, it was possible to obtain the sinters practically without pores. Three types of composites Al + SiC and hybrid composites such as Al + (WC + 12Co) and Al + [SiC + (WC + 12 Co)] were produced. Their density, resistance to friction wear and surface topographic parameters have been determined. Based on the results, it has been shown that in the case of hybrid sinters, better tribological characteristics compared to composites reinforced with SIC particles only can be obtained. It was also shown that the friction coefficient primarily depends on the difference between the hardness of the pin and the disc. The greater difference in hardness causes the values of the friction coefficient to be higher.
