Developments in sintering of powder mixtures contributed growth of steel production via powder metallurgy. This study aims to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of carbon steels produced via powder metallurgy. For this purpose, P/M carbon steel was alloyed with 3 % Manganese. Then, this alloyed steel was reinforced with particles such as titanium carbide (TiC), titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbonitride (TiCN) in different proportions (0.5 and 1 %) and combinations. The effect of these additives on the mechanical properties of PM steels was determined by conducting tensile and hardness tests. Wear tests were performed to understand the tribological properties of samples. Also, microstructural properties, fracture surfaces, and worn surfaces of samples were examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope. Results show that the hardness and tensile strength of carbon steel increased by nearly 158 % and 62 % respectively, while the wear resistance improved by 4 times with the addition of 3 % Mn and 0.5 % TiCN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
