Abstract
An investigation is conducted on the unexplored synergistic effects of multilayer graphene (MLG) and Ti3SiC2 in self-lubricating composites for use in high-temperature friction and wear applications. The tribological properties of TiAl matrix self-lubricating composites with different solid lubricant additions (Ti3SiC2-MLG, MLG) are investigated from room temperature to 800°C using a rotating ball-on-disk configuration. Tribological results suggest the evolution of lubrication properties of MLG and the excellent synergistic lubricating effect of MLG and Ti3SiC2 as the testing temperature changes. It can be deduced that MLG has great potential applications as a promising high-temperature solid lubricant within 400°C, and a combination of MLG and Ti3SiC2 is an effective way to achieve and maintain desired tribological properties over a wide temperature range.
