In this study, the wear and microstructure properties of some coatings produced on Weldox 700 steel were investigated via a high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) technique. For the coating types, NiCrBSi, WCCo and CoNiCrAlY-based coatings were selected. Microstructure and phase formation were examined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry. Wear tests of the substrate and coatings were made using the ball-on-disc method. It can be seen from the SEM images that the coating layers are metallurgically/ mechanically connected to the substrate and have a mostly homogeneous structure. The hardness measurement was taken from the top of the coatings. The hardness values of the coatings were significantly higher than those of the substrate. The coated substrates exhibit a very good tribological performance compared with the substrate. Depending on the load, the wear rate and coefficient of friction of the coatings were much lower as compared with the Weldox 700 steel substrate.

In this study, aluminium matrix boron carbide (B4C) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) reinforced hybrid composite was produced by powder metallurgy method and their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The samples were produced at 6 percentage volume ratios using hot pressing technique. Microstructure examination, hardness measurement, transverse rupture test, and wear tests were carried out in order to determine the mechanical properties of the samples. Also three-point bending test was performed to determine their transverse rupture strength (TRS). Wear tests were carried out based on the ball on disc method. The microstructure examination revealed that the reinforcing elements were relatively homogeneously distributed in the aluminium matrix. In addition, the fracture was brittle due to the notch effect and agglomeration occurred with increasing amount of CNF. As the CNF amount of the samples increased, their hardness values increased but their TRS values decreased. Results of the wear test indicate that the increased amount of CNF increased the wear resistance. The friction coefficient values of the samples varied between 0.535 and 0.646. When the hardness was examined together with TRS and wear test results, the most suitable sample was determined to be Al-7%B4C-1%CNF

 MAX phase composite material was successfully manufactured  Intensity of MAX phase increased even more with increasing sintering temperature.  With the increase of sintering temperature, binary and ternary complex phases were formed.
