Ball milling was introduced to overcome the problems of agglomeration and powder separation during powder mixing. After ball milling, the fine NbC particles are embedded on the surface of iron particles and evenly distributed in the mixed powders. Warm compaction was used not only to increase the green density but also to improve the formability of the mixed powder and to improve the compact’s green strength to facilitate handling. The influences of fabrication parameters such as ball milling time, annealing temperature and time, warm compaction temperature, sintering temperature and sintering time were studied. Compacts with a relative sintered density of 97% and a tensile strength of more than 800?MPa can be obtained by using a ball milling time of 5?h, an annealing temperature of 800?℃, a compaction pressure of 600?MPa, warm compaction temperature of 120?℃, sintering temperature of 1?280?℃, and sintering time of 80?min. The shrinkage at this sintering condition was approximately 4.3%.展开更多

With optimal sintering temperature of 1?280?℃ and sintering time of 80?min, wear resisting, high density NbC particulate reinforced iron base composites can be obtained using warm compaction powder metallurgy. The microstructure, relative density, mechanical properties and tribological behaviors of the sintered composites were studied. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the sintered compacts were closely related to the sintered density. The iron base composite materials with different combinations of mechanical properties and tribological behaviors were developed for different applications. One of the developed composite, which contains 10%NbC, possesses a high strength of 815?MPa with a remarkable friction and wear behaviors. The other developed composite, which contains 15%NbC, possesses a lesser strength of 515?MPa but with excellent friction and wear behaviors.展开更多
