Figure 11. Temperature-induced wear transition in the ceramic-metal (TiC-γFe) composite system. A critical temperature of ~125 °C at which the wear mechanism transition occurs was determined, where phase transformations, including surface decarburization and oxidation, were investigated using in situ TEM and interpreted using the CALPHAD approach and first-principles calculations.
