Abstract High-energy ball milled M2 high speed steel powders reinforced with 6%Mo2C and 3%-12%TiC have been cold-pressed and subsequently sintered at 1 030-1 240 ℃ under vacuum to obtain TiC particle reinforced M2 powder high speed steel composites (TiCP/M2). The phase, microstructure and properties of sintered TiCp/M2 high speed steel were tested and analyzed by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and universal material testing machine. The results show that the mixed powders have higher sintering activity, and all samples can be fully densified when sintered below 1 220 ℃. The addition of TiC will hinder the densification process of high speed steel. Compared with 3%TiCp/M2, the sintering temperature of 12%TiCp/M2 increases by about 40 K. TiC can promote the formation of MC carbides. With the increase of sintering temperature, the volume fraction of TiC decreases, while the size and volume fraction of MC carbides increase. The hardness of TiCP/M2 high speed steel increases with increasing TiC content. At the optimum sintering temperature, the hardness (HRC) increases from 58.3 to 62.1 with the increase of TiC content from 3% to 12%, respectively. The bending strength of high speed steel increases first and then decreases with increasing TiC content. The highest bending strength of 9%TiC/M2 is 2 358 MPa. The addition of TiC can widen the sintering temperature range of M2 high speed steel to a certain extent.
