In this study, corrosion and wear behaviors of PM 316L matrix composite materials reinforced with SiC particles in amounts of 10 vol% are evaluated. The samples are uniaxially cold pressed, and then sintered by two different methods, conventional sintering and microwave sintering. Corrosion properties are evaluated by both immersion and cyclic polarization tests. Wear properties are evaluated by dry sliding wear tests. Brinell and Vickers microhardness tests are applied, in order to support the wear test results. The results show that 10 vol% SiCp reinforced composite samples have acceptable corrosion properties and improved wear resistence in a similar manner, as they show good mechanical properties. In addition, microwave sintering results in better wear properties compared to conventional method.
