【 摘 要 】

This paper makes an investigation on the synthesis of tantalum carbide (TaCx) based chromel composites and their tribological behaviour using pin on disc under various load conditions. The reinforced chromel alloy with TaCx was prepared at the rate of 0, 3 and 6 wt.% of TaC using stir casting route. The wear resistance of composites was found to improve with the increase in weight percentage of TaC. The wear properties of Chromel-TaCx composite were enhanced due to the presence of 6% TaC. The wear worn out surface of chromel composite was studied through microstructures. The optimal process factors and their effect on responses have been analyzed through Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
