“…Non-lubricating wear test was conducted on the polished surface at ambient conditions using in ball-on-disc configuration. Details of the test conditions and parameters are discussed elsewhere [22]. Microstructural investigation of the as-synthesized and worn surface was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM; Inspect F50, FEI The Netherlands) and transmission electron microscopy (JEOL JEM-F200 / 200 kV).…”

“…The electron transparent TEM specimen from the pristine and worn surface was prepared using focused ion beam (FIB; FEI Helios NanoLab G3 UC, FEI company, The Netherlands). Further analyses which may be of interest can be found elsewhere [22] as the scope of this work is not a tribological study but instead the role of residual stresses on wear behaviour from a microstructural point of view.…”

This article presents a microstructural study on the role of incipient residual stress relaxation in TiC-particulate/SiC-matrix ceramic composite toughened by thermal expansion mismatch and phase transformation toughening. Exhaustive microstructural studies was undertaken using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy following a wear test. It was found that the superposition of hydrostatic tensile stress induced at the surface following the sliding contact on the inherent residual stresses locked in the composite led to a relaxation and/or reduction in the residual stresses. Stress relaxation presented a wider implication for the tribological properties of this ceramic matrix composite (CMC) in the form of a grain-scale rippling microstructural phenomena. Dear Editor,Many thanks for the opportunity to address the reviewers comments and recommendations. All latest corrections that have been carried out in the manuscript are highlighted in red text below the reviewers comment. Reviewers' comments:1. In the article title, SiC-TiC ceramic matrix could be added to clarify the research object of this article.This has now been included in the title as advised 2. It was suggested some references that research on SiC based ceramic matrix could be added, like Ceramics International 46 (2020) 5159-5167 and so on.This reference has now been included as advised 3. Please confirm if there is any sintering additive during the SPS process.No sintering additives was employed and this has now been stated in the manuscript 4. Please add the heating rate of SPS process.Heating rate 100 °C/min was employed and has been stated in the manuscript 5. It was suggested that a XRD result can be added in the article to investigate the phase transformation in larger scale than TEM.XRD result has now been added to highlight phase transformation 6. It was suggested that the thermal expansion data of SiC and TiC could be added in the article.A table showing thermal expansion data of all the phases in the composite system has now been added to the manuscript

“…During dry sliding tests, it was reported that rubbing monolithic TiC and TiC/SiC composites against Al 2 O 3 lead to graphite formation on the worn track. 44 Moreover, Magnus et al 45 reported that the TiC delays the triboxidation of Ti 3 SiC 2 and favors the graphitic formation on the tribofilm layer. This graphite plays an important role in the tribological behavior since it is considered as a good solid lubricant 46 Typical Raman peaks ( Figure 9A) corresponding to graphite were clearly observed in the Raman spectra of the oxide layer which is in agreement with the EDS analysis ( Figure 8F (B3)).…”

In this study, wear and friction behavior of two based-composites from the Ti-Si-C system, (40 wt% TiC; 28 wt% Ti 5 Si 3 ; 17 wt% Ti 3 SiC 2 ) and (18 wt% TiC; 26 wt% Ti 5 Si 3 ; 41 wt% Ti 3 SiC 2 ) reinforced by 15 wt% of large size SiC (100-150 µm) particles were investigated. The four-phase composites exhibited approximatively the same friction coefficient (µ ~ 0.9) under high loads (10 N and 7 N). The composite with high Ti 3 SiC 2 showed higher wear rate values by one order of magnitude.However, under 1 N, the composite with high TiC content showed a higher running-in period and a lower steady state µ value (0.37 after 1000 m sliding distance).Scanning electron microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray and Raman spectroscopy analysis of the worn surfaces of the two composites revealed that oxidation was the dominant wear mechanism. The oxidation process and the removal kinetics of the oxides during sliding controlled the tribological behavior of the composites. The influence of processing variables on microstructures development and wear mechanisms of the composites is discussed.

In this study, we investigated the formation of TiC nanosheets from carbon black and Ti3AlC2 mixtures in NaCl-KCl eutectic salt. The effects of raw material ratio, molten salt ratio, and heating temperature on TiC formation were studied in detail. Results show that carbon black may enhance the decomposition of amounts of Ti3AlC2 at 1,100°C by heat treatment without salt addition, while molten salt plays key roles in the total decomposition of Ti3AlC2 and the formation of TiC nanosheets at 1,000°C. Higher heating temperature and excess carbon black benefits the synthesis of high content TiC. The as-synthesized TiC nanosheets are approximately 15 nm thick and 80-220 nm long. We propose a possible reaction mechanism that governs TiC formation in molten salts and explain the observations based on kinetic considerations.
