Characterisation of functionally graded and VC/steel ...
In this study, low carbon steel specimens with surface alloyed composites were produced by means of powder metallurgy. Vanadium carbide, graphite (1·2 wt-%) and Fe were used for the surface alloyed composite, while Fe and graphite (0·2 wt-%) were used for the low carbon steel side. The powder mixtures were compacted together in the same mould.
