Abstract

A new alloy Ti6Al4V/CrCFs synthesized from powder mixture Ti6Al4V and carbon fibers (CFs) coated of chromium (Cr) during direct energy deposition (DED) was investigated. The microhardness, wear properties, and microstructural characteristics of (Ti,Cr)xCy type carbides are determined. Samples Ti6Al4V/CrCFs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS), respectively. The microhardness of matrix and single carbides (Ti,Cr)xCy of new alloy Ti6Al4V/CrCFs was 450 HV0.01 and 1000 HV0.01, respectively. The (Ti,Cr)xCy synthesized carbides in a sample of the Ti6Al4V/CrCFs alloy grown by the DED method assist to a partial decrease in the coefficient of friction by 1.75 times compared to the Ti6Al4V alloy. This investigation revealed the wear performance of the DEDed specimens Ti6Al4V/CrCFs and their new (Ti,Cr)xCy carbides, which could pave the way for producing components for wear-related applications.
