Performance of iron-based composites reinforced by different SiC contents

SiC/Fe-3Cu-C-2Ni-1.5Cr-0.5Mo iron-based composites with different contents of SiC were prepared by powder metallurgy. The density, microstructure, mechanical properties, dry friction and wear performance as well as the wear mechanism of the iron-based composites were studied by hardness tester, SEM, electronic universal testing machine, universal friction and wear testing machine. The results show that with the increase of SiC from 0.5% to...
