Abstract:High manganese Hadfield steel is the conventional wear-resistant steel. In order to meet the requirements of complex working conditions, Hadfield steel matrix composites (SMCs) with various volume fraction of TiC were designed and fabricated using an in-situ solidification method. The microstructure and abrasive wear properties of these composites were examined. After heat treatment, the composites consist of austenite and TiC phases. TiC particles were uniformly distributed in the matrix, and the interface between the particles and the matrix was clean. It is found that the wear resistance of the composites can be improved by the introduction of TiC particles. However, with increasing TiC volume fraction, the wear resistance decreased slightly. We found the particle size increased and the particle segregations were formed with increasing TiC volume fraction. The increased wear rate with increasing TiC volume fraction was caused by the fracture of large particles.
