Abstract:
In this paper, WC particles and NH4HCO3 powders were mixed evenly, and then pressed under 150MPa. The WC porous preforms were obtained after the compacts being heat treated to eliminate NH4HCO3. The volume ratios of WC in the preforms were 30%, 40% and 50% respectively. WC/Fe composites were fabricated by infiltrating liquid cast iron into the WC porous preforms. Optic microscope and scanning electron microscope were employed to observe the microstructure of the matrix alloy and the composites. The results showed that matrix alloy without WC addition had pores in the surface. The microstructure of the composites with WC volume fractions of 30%, and 40% were denser than that of 50%. Hardness and wet sliding wear behaviors of the composites were investigated at room temperature. The addition of WC particles could effectively improve the hardness and the wear resistance of the composites. The influence of volume fractions on hardness of the composites was similar to that on wear resistance. The hardness and the wear resistance of the 40vol.%WC/Fe composite was better than those of the 30vol.%WC/Fe composite. And the properties of the 50vol.%WC/Fe composite were the worst.
