Titanium carbide is used as reinforcement com ponent in composites due to its stability, hardness and wear resistance. A potential application is local reinforce ment of stainless steel castings in which TiC is added only to the surfaces, which acquire wear resistance. This work is part of the study in which Ti and C are added in the mould during casting of stainless steel to form TiC at a specific surface. Wettability, stability and dissolution of the reinforcement particles are key phenomena in produc ing these composites in liquid state. Wetting experiments between TiC and Fe as well as FeNi and FeCr alloys were performed in order to get information about wettability, dissolution and formation of TiC and other phases related to the systems. Contact angles for the systems were at tained without any reactions between the substrate and the alloy during heating. Wetting was not significantly improved by adding Ni or Cr. Dissolution of TiC was very strong into all the alloys. No new phases at the interface were formed in the experiments except for Crcarbides in Crcontaining alloys. These results gave important infor mation about the interfacial phenomena needed in devel oping the production methods.
