Abstract
A casting penetration technology combined with in situ synthesis is applied to produce a TiC particle reinforced iron matrix composite. The interface between reaction zone and matrix is in good quality and no defects are found. The TiC particles in the reaction zone are fine with the average size of 2-5 μm, which may be beneficial for the interface quality and reinforcing effect. Analysis shows the growth of TiC particles is mainly controlled by the diffusion of carbon atoms.
