The objective of this study was to investigate wear characteristics of Fe-TiB₂ composites prepared by pressureless sintering (PLS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) using nanocomposite mixtures. Prior to wear test, micro-structures and mechanical properties of specimens were examined. Wear characteristics of these specimens slid against SiC were assessed using ball-on-disk tribo-tester. Results showed that PLS specimen had significantly large TiB₂ particles in the Fe matrix than SPS specimen. The relatively large TiB₂ particles in PLS specimen might be due to grain growth and coarsening during sintering process. Hardness of SPS specimen was substantially larger than that of PLS specimen. Furthermore, SPS specimen exhibited significantly larger wear resistance than PLS specimen. These differences in hardness and wear resistance between specimens might be associated with differences in their micro-structures. Results of this study provide better understanding of wear characteristics of Fe-TiB₂ composites.
