Purpose: The objective of this work is to study the influence of different parameters as the chemical composition and particle size of the metal matrix, on TiCN-reinforced Fe-based composites. Design/methodology/approach: In order to obtain the composite powder two different types of blending were used, conventional blending and high energy milling (HEM). The HEM was carried out in a planetary ball mill during 12 hours, with a rotating speed of 400 rpm, and a ratio ball:powder of 10:1 (in mass). The atmosphere was Argon to prevent the oxidation. After the preparation of powders, compacts were produced by uniaxial pressing at 700 MPa and sintering under vacuum. The sintering temperatures varied between 1350oC and 1450oC, for 60 min. Sintered samples were characterised by determination of density, dimensional change, Vickers hardness (HV30), bending strength, and C, N contents (by LECO). The microstructural study was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Findings: As a result of the study it is clear that the presence of carbides in the metal matrix allows the increasing of mechanical properties of sintered composites, and these properties are related with the microstructure and C/N ratio. Practical implications: In this research 50 % vol of hard phase is introduced, following a simpler and lowercost route, as pressing and sintering. It is true that high-energy milling raises the cost of the processing. This is why conventional blending of small size powder particle has also been done in this work. The latter route has shown to give quite promising results, reaching hardness values about 2000 HV30. Originality/value: In this work, composite materials with high hardness have been obtained following a simple and low-cost route.
