The study results are given which are devoted to finding the effect of reinforcement with fine phase of titanium carbide in the amount of 10 masses% on the physico-mechanical and tribotechnical properties of industrial aluminum AM4.5Kd alloy. The physico-mechanical (density, porosity, coefficient of thermal linear expansion, hardness, microhardness) and tribotechnical (wear rate, friction factor, self-heating temperature) properties of the composite material AM4.5Kd-10%TiC obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis before and after heat treatment are analyzed. It is found out that composite samples after heat treatment have a good combination of physical and mechanical properties, namely a low level of porosity, a low value of the coefficient of thermal linear expansion, and the values of hardness and microhardness are increased twice. Special attention should be paid to the fact that reinforcement with a ceramic phase in combination with heat treatment leads to a significant increase in the level of wear resistance of the matrix alloy (by 9 times) and a decrease in the friction factor (by 4 times). Thus, according to the results of the studies conducted, the resulting composite material AM4.5Kd-10%TiC can be recommended as a material used in tribological assemblies.
