In the current study, metal matrix composites of iron-based alloy (SS316) are successfully cast by the application of a novel processing route of microwave hybrid heating (MHH). The castings of iron-base alloy (SS316) powder and reinforced with 10 wt.% EWAC1004 (Ni-based) + 3 wt.% WC-12Co are developed in the domestic microwave oven power of 900 W and frequency 2.45 GHz. The mechanical and metallurgical properties of the prepared casts are investigated. The value of the mean particle size of the powder used is found to be 40 μm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Vickers’s microhardness tester are used for the characterization of so developed composites samples. The microstructure is reported as elongated columnar grains or lathlike structure with uniform melting of the iron-based (SS316) matrix has been achieved. The XRD confirmed the presence of typical carbides and intermetallic. The average micro-hardness of the reinforced composites is reported as 420 ± 90 HV0.3. The achieved microhardness of cast samples is 2 times the commercially received SS316. The micro-hardness obtained on the surface of the carbide phase is 648.16 HV0.3. The porosity of the prepared cast is found to be less than 2% which is approximately 3 times less as compared to commercially received SS316. The relative density of the microwave cast SS316 without reinforcement is found to be maximum with the value of 98%. The value of grain size of the microwave-casted composite samples is reduced to 23 microns (μm)

Components operating in fluid handling systems most frequently experience cavitation erosion. The coatings/claddings fabricated by microwave irradiation method can remarkably improve cavitation erosion. In the present work, WC reinforced NiCrSiC based metal matrix composite clads with varying weight percentage of WC particles were developed on SS 316 steel using microwave heating method. The metallurgical and microstructural study of composite clads were analyzed using SEM/EDS, XRD and porosity, microhardness was also investigated. Cavitation erosion behavior of the claddings were evaluated using vibratory cavitation erosion tester. The failure mechanism due to cavitation erosion was explored using SEM study. The relationship of cavitation erosion behavior with variation in weight percentage (10%, 20%, and 30%) of reinforced particles in the composite clad was also explored. It has been observed that with an increase in the weight percentage of WC particles, the cavitation erosion rates decreased drastically initially (37.9%) and, but later significant change was not observed (4.89%, 2.44%). Eroded surface study revealed that with increase in the weight percentage of WC reinforcement the mode of damage changes from ductile to brittle. Further it was studied that the pits, crater, micro-cracks, and plastic deformation were the primary wear mechanisms.

“…If the dilution rate is too high, the performance of the reinforced layer will be reduced, and crack and deformation will easily occur. Generally, it is better to control the dilution rate within the range of 15% to 25% [29].…”

Alloy steel components can be subjected to serious damage from a variety of conditions during the industrial production procedures, such as wear and fracture failure. Therefore, the preparation of gradient-reinforced layers on the surface of the alloy steel was considered an effective technique to improve the performance. Along these lines, a 40Cr alloy steel, which was commonly used in industry, was systematically investigated in this work. The nano TiC ceramic material was selected in the hard phase. In this work, continuous-wave laser was used to fabricate gradient reinforced layers, which provided a technical reference for the development of protective reinforcement layers for alloy steels with excellent mechanical properties. A dense structure was formed inside the nano TiC gradient reinforced layer, which has a lower friction coefficient (0.25) and wear loss weight (23 mg). The height of the surface material loss under a heavy load wear environment (187 μm) was lower than that of a bare 40Cr alloy steel sample (1116 μm). The impact energy of the nano TiC gradient reinforced layer (75.27 J/cm2) was higher than that of a bare 40Cr alloy steel sample (15.25 J/cm2). Both the wear behavior and impact toughness strengthening mechanism of the nano TiC gradient reinforced layer were revealed.
