Abstract

Based on the prealloyed and diffusion bonded powders (Distaloy SA and Distaloy SE) different metal matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles were produced by the conventional powder metallurgy technology and the effect of varied amounts of SiC particles on microstructure evaluation and selected properties were investigated. It was stated that the mass fraction of SiC has a great effect on the density, porosity, shrinkage, hardness and wear resistance of studied composites. In the case of both Distaloy SA and Distaloy SE matrix materials, the optimum SiC content is 4 wt. % due to the highest wear resistance and hardness of sintered composite.
