Abstract

A research is conducted on the possible beneficial synergistic effects of multiple additives in self-lubricating composites for use in high temperature friction and wear-related mechanical assemblies. Dry sliding tribological tests of Ni3Al matrix self-lubricating composites (NMSCs) on a HT-1000 ball-on-disk high-temperature tribometer are undertaken against Si3N4 at 25-800 °C. The results show that the subsurface microstructures beneath wear scar of NMSCs change with addition of different lubricants, which have great effects on tribological mechanisms and tribological performances. NMSC with addition of MoS2 and Ti3SiC2 exhibits distinct subsurface microstructure beneath wear scar and excellent tribological performance among all samples.
