Metal Matrix Composites (MMC's) have found an increased use in various industries due to their special mechanical and physical properties. They are a composite material with at least two constituent parts, one being a metal and are made by dispersing a reinforcing material into a metal matrix. The markets are: telecommunications, automotive, power semiconductor, opto-electronics, military and aerospace, heavy transportation, space systems and satellites, medical, and industrial lighting. Applications within these markets include microwave, micro-electronic packaging, laser diode, HB-LED's,

The present study focuses on the wear behavior of a laser cladded 316L + 20% WC. Preliminary microstructural characterization was carried out by means of SEM (morphology) and OM (distribution) in order to evaluate how the reinforcement WC particles are embedded into the steel parent matrix. Furthermore, hardness measurements were performed. A pin-on-disc tribometer test campaign was performed considering two different heights of a thick deposit. These results and post-mortem track analysis lead to a deeper comprehension of the wear behavior of the MMC and its wear sequence was elucidated. In addition, a comparison with the previous studies have been made, assessing the role of the counter body on the wear behavior of this complex MMC.
