Effect of sintering temperature on the wear mechanism of in-situ TiC/Cu matrix composites with negative wear rate
Key Points
Negative wear rate indicates that under specific conditions, these composites can experience less wear over time, enhancing durability.
The study reveals that at optimized sintering temperatures, the tribological properties of TiC/Cu composites improve significantly, confirming a hardness increase.
Using in-situ techniques, researchers explored varying sintering temperatures to analyze their influence on wear mechanisms in TiC/Cu matrix composites.
Implications for engineering applications include potential enhancements in material performance, with specific focus on wear moderation.
