This work illustrates the synthesis and characterization of novel MAX reinforced metals (MRMs) composites. These composites were tested for their mechanical and tribological performance in ambient temperature. Synthesis and characterization of Bi-Ti3SiC2 and Ag-Ti3SiC2 was studied in Chapter 2. Both composites showed an enhancement in their mechanical and tribological behavior. For example, the addition of 20% Ti3SiC2 decreased the wear rate (WR) by ~12 times in Ag and ~33 times in Bi comparing with the pristine metal. In Chapter 3, Bi-Cr2AlC composites were studied and results had been compared to Bi-Ti3SiC2 composites. The addition of 10 vol% Cr2AlC was able …
