논문 초록 (Abstract)
Uniformly distributed TiC nanoparticle-reinforced iron-based composites were successfully fabricated by planetary milling in argon and subsequent hot pressing procedures. Nearly full density composite specimens could be obtained via 6-hour milling and hot pressing at 1100 °C under 50 MPa. Spherical TiC particles and fine fibrous Fe3C phases were observed to form the iron-matrix composites and subjected to comparative analysis. Microstructural analysis results show that theaverage diameter of TiC particles and the length of Fe3C phases tend to decrease with an increase in a TiC volume content. The compression yield strength of hot-pressed composites increased in proportion to the TiC content, resulting in 1.3 GPa for 7.5 % TiC. The relationship between the microstructural characteristics and the yield strength of TiC-reinforced composites was also investigated. Based on the Orowan strengthening mechanism, a higher strength is observed for a high TiC content, mainly due to reduced distance between reinforcing TiC nanoparticles.
