Abstract

Abstract: Substantial progress in the development of aluminum and steel matrix composites achieved in the last years introduced these materials into the most important industrial applications. The possibility of combining various materials systems (metal-ceramic particles) gives opportunity for unlimited properties. The advantages of the composite materials are put in value when the cost - performance relation is optimum. One way to produce these advanced materials as having low cost and optimal wear properties is powder metallurgy. The objective of this work is to characterize the wear properties of Functionally Graded Composite Materials (FGCMs) achieved in three layers in which one layer of the system is Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), in comparison to Sintered Metal Carbides (SMCs) of types K 20 (85%WC + 15%Co) and M 20 (75%WC + 16%TiC + 9%Co).
