Abstract:To study dry sliding wear behavior and its relation to microstructure, Ti-50Al alloys and Ti-47Al-3W alloy and its composite with varying reinforcement of Ti 2 AlC were prepared by reactive arc-melting. Dispersion of fine B2 particles is obtained by the addition of tungsten to TiAl alloy, which improves both the hardness and wear resistance of the matrix. By adding carbon to Ti-47Al-3W alloy, composite can be produced having a random distribution of reacted rod-like Ti 2 AlC particles and smaller Ti 2 AlC prec… Show more
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.
