| Abstract: |
| Commercially pure titanium substrate pre-placed with different amount of nano-sized SiC powder was friction stir processed. Introduction of nano-sized powder to the stir zone was carried out by means of surface groove with different depth and width. Near uniform nano-sized SiC dispersion was achieved after three additional passes using a fixed tool rotation and substrate advancing speed. Ti/SiC nano-composite surface layers with SiC volume fractions of 5.5, 2, and 1% were fabricated that exhibited a micro hardness value of ~638, 433 and 379 HV, respectively; these are much greater than ~160 HV of their underlying substrate material. In addition, the nano-composite surface layers showed superior wear performance than their underlying substrate. The greater the SiC content, the lower the weight-loss data and the higher the resistance to wear. |
