The wear samples were prepared by adding different amounts of Ti (4%, 6%, and 8%) into A356 powder alloy by mechanical alloying. The mechanically alloyed powders were cold pressed at 600 MPa and sintered 530 degrees C for 1 h in argon atmosphere and cooled in the furnace. After the sintering process, the samples were characterized. The results show that AlTi and TiAl3 intermetallic phases were formed and their amount increased depending on the amount of Ti added into A356 powder alloy. Out of the samples sintered with different titanium amounts (1 h at 530 degrees C), the highest hardness value and, accordingly, the lowest wear amount, were observed in the alloy containing 8% Ti.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessA356-Ti alloysmechanical alloyingsinteringwear behaviorArticle10.3390/met60200342-s2.0-849580642842Q16WOS:000371895700004Q1
