Production and investigation of ceramic-metal composite from electroless Ni plated WC-Ti powders

In this study, two different sample preparation method of samples prepared in 5 different temperature sintered composite was produced. Produced composites optimal sample preparation method of examining mechanical properties and good composite properties have been determined. Research Tungsten Carbide (WC) and titanium (Ti) powder were prepared by electroless nickel plating method which is our first method. In the second method, WC, Ti and Ni powder were prepared by homogeneous mixing. 1 and 2 placed into the mold powders obtained by the method of 2 minutes under pressure of 300 bar by pressing 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1400 0C was sintered in an argon gas atmosphere. Measuring the hardness values of density of sintered samples were calculated. The best method is electroless nickel plating and 1400 0C in mechanical properties is obtained on the sintered samples made metallographic were determined by EDX and mechanical tests.
