the aim of this research was to study the wear behavior of 42crmo4 steel/zro2 composite with 10 and 30 ppi performed ceramic and compare it with the un-reinforced steel under different applied loads. the composite specimens were obtained by pressureless infiltration of the melt into a preformed ceramic of zirconium oxide. the effect of applied load on the specimens wear behavior was studied by ...

In order to obtain the high-performance composites with high density, the influence of additional ultrasonic vibration on the infiltration of molten aluminum alloy (ASTM A336.0) into nickel porous preform by low-pressure and pressureless casting was investigated. There was no effect of ultrasonic vibration on infiltration distance under pressureless casting because of presence of surface oxide ...

A metal-based matrix is usually used for the fabrication of diamond bits in order to achieve favorable properties and easy processing. In the effort to reduce the cost and to attain the desired bit properties, researchers have brought more attention to diamond composites. In this paper, Fe-based impregnated diamond composites for drill bits were fabricated by using a pressureless infiltration s...
