Correlation Between Microstructural And Mechanical Properties In Niobium Carbide Reinforced Hadfield Steel Composites
(2021) MMTM05 20211Production and Materials Engineering
- Abstract
- Degradation of tools is a prevalent aspect in the mechanical
world; due to the advancement of technologies and intense
research and development, there are new ways and ideas to curb
or delay the tool failures; one such idea is to implement Metal
Matrix Composites (MMCs) with various reinforcement
materials. This thesis focuses on improving the hardness and
wear resistance of Hadfield steel by reinforcing it with Niobium
Carbide (NbC).
This whole project is categorized into three sections, beginning
with literature study, implementing theory into practice by
reinforcing NbC into Hadfield steels, and later investigating the
microstructural results by material characterization techniques
like Scanning Electron... (More) - Degradation of tools is a prevalent aspect in the mechanical

microstructural results by material characterization techniques
like Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) followed by wear
testing.
This study involves the investigation of microstructure and
hardness. The ultimate result from this thesis is determining the
suitable NbC material to reinforce Hadfield steel, and the results
have shown that the hardness has increased in the studied test
samples. (Less) - Popular Abstract
