In this study, five Ni-Co-Bronze (CuSn) + XTiC (0, 3, 7, 10, and 15 wt.%) composites were produced by using the hot pressing method. The effect of TiC reinforcement rate on each of their microstructure, wear, hardness, and thermal properties was investigated. Within the scope of microstructure analysis, the scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and XRD analysis were employed. Thermal analyses were carried out for thermal differences between the samples. Furthermore, microhardness, impact, and wear tests were run to estimate mechanical behaviors of Ni-Co Bronze + XTiC composite. Experimental results indicated that TiC rate had an important effect on the microstructure, wear-resistance and microhardness of Ni-Co bronze composite. As the TiC reinforcement rate increased, the hardness of Ni-Co Bronze + XTiC composites varied between 180 HV and 450 HV. Consequently, microstructure analysis revealed that there was a serious interaction between reinforcement and matrix. Wear resistance increased with a TiC (7-10) wt. % rate but decreased at high TiC rates. It was clearly seen that the wear pattern was both oxidative and abrasive.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68809488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrical conductivity of samples was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of inductive load (measured from room temperature to 800?C) is discussed in low to high temperature regimes. At T < 400?C since the arc is not a complete semicircle, the high-frequency arc could be fit using a constant phase element (CPE), while by subtraction of inductive load, a good fit is achieved using a capacitor element instead of CPE. The Arrhenius conductivity plot of samples reveals that the specimen sintered at 1600?C for 6 hours exhibits the highest conductivity. The activation energy (Ea) and conductivity pre-exponential (??0) factor are calculated from a linear fit to data that decreases by the increase in sintering temperature.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68811006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to determine the mechanical properties of the produced samples, hardness analyzes were made with a microhardness measuring device.
