The abrasive attrition and wear properties of in-situ carbide reinforced steel matrix composites(Fe(Ti
W
Cr
V
Nb)Cp)were measured.The results show that in-situ carbide particle exhibits fine and round morphology and uniform distribution in the in-situ steel matrix composites
reaching up to 42.8%(volume fraction)
which results in the composites possessing excellent wear resistance.In the condition of abrasive attrition
the wear loss is mainly caused by micro-cutting
particle shattered and brittle micro-peeling.The wear resistance of in-situ steel matrix composites can be greatly improved with increasing Re and alloying elements addition.
