During this process the melting point of the metal matrix is reached and the solid reinforcement is soluble in it. Thereby, via rearrangement and solucion-reprecipitation mechanism, these composite materials are sintered obtaining hihg density, hardness and wear resistance.For this sintering mechanism it is very important to know the solubility and wetting behaviour at high temperature of the metallic matrix and the reinforcement. In recent years one of the research topics in the field of hard materials is the search for new metallic matrixes so it becomes mandatory to study its interaction with the reinforcement from the viewpoint of solibility and wettability. This work shows a study combination of simulation tools and experimental testing of contacta angle mesurement at high temperature of the system Ni/TiCN because Ni is the conventional metallic matrix used in cermets and it is compared with the systems Fe/TiCN and Fe-15Ni/TiCN because the Fe is the main candidate for an alternative metallic matrix.6application/pdfeng© 2015 European Powder Metallurgy AssociationLiquid Phase SinteringCermetsMetallic matrixesComposite materialsconference proceedingsMaterialesopen accessEuro PM2015 Proceedings: hard materials, alternative bindersCC/0000027569
