This study aimed to investigate the densification microstructural mechanical and tribological properties of TiB2 NiCr composite TiB2 NiCr composite was fabricated by spark plasma sintering SPS at different sintering temperatures ranging between 800 and 900 C The relative density of TiB2 NiCr composite increased by increasing SPS temperature reaching a maximum for the composite sintered at 900 C 96 5 The dry sliding wear performance of TiB2 NiCr composite was studied in the temperature range of 25 600 C Worn surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy SEM equipped with an energy dispersive X ray spectrometer EDS The wear rate decreased with increasing SPS temperature The higher densification achieved by increasing SPS temperature resulted in lower porosity better interfacial bonding and higher hardness all of which decreased the wear rate of the composite The high temperature wear behavior of composite showed promising performance This study suggested that sintered TiB2 NiCr composites could be promising for wear resistance applications at elevated temperatures Graphical abstractThe effects of SPS temperature on densification microstructural mechanical and tribological behavior of TiB2 NiCr composite over a wide temperature range
