Abstract

In recent decades, ceramic particles reinforced iron matrix composites (CPRIMCs) are regarded as the main achievements in wear resistant materials area [1-3]. Among many iron matrix composites, Tib₂ ceramic reinforced Fe matrix composite (Tib₂/ Fe) behaves large elastic modulus, high mechanical strength, and advanced hardness and wear resistance [4,5]. Additionally, the high electrical conductivity of Tib₂ ceramic [6] enables machining of Tib₂/Fe composite easily using electrical discharge machining. Agarwal and Dahotre [7] discussed the reinforcing mechanism of Tib₂/Fe composite, the epitaxial growth of iron on Tib₂ particles is revealed, and the orientation relationship was found as Tib₂ (0001)/Fe (111). However, much less information is available for the effects of alloying elements on the properties of Tib₂/Fe interface.
