For all composites, alumina particles are evenly distributed, and Si powder is dissolved in the matrix. Without Si powder addition, the 40Cr steel matrix contains only pearlite; however, ferrite appears and increases with Si powder addition. In the impact-abrasive wear tests, the impact frequency is 80 min^-1 and the impacting energy is 2 J. With increasing Si powder, the wear of the composites first decreases obviously, reaches the minimum at 10% and then increases. The effect of Si addition on the wear resistance can be attributed to two reasons： one is increasing the hardness of the matrix, and the other is improving the interfacial bonding between Al2O3p and steel. The wear mechanism of the composites is abrasive wear when the Si powder is 〈 10 wt%. Otherwise, it is a mixed mode of abrasive and delamination wear.展开更多
