Abstract

TiAl matrix composites incorporated with silver (Ag) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are investigated to identify the improved friction and wear behavior over a wide temperature range. The results show that the excellent friction-reducing and anti-wear properties are obtained by the incorporation of Ag and MoS2, and the composite with 8 wt.% Ag and 4 wt.% MoS2 exhibits the lowest friction coefficients and wear rates under all testing temperatures. Such phenomenon is attributed to the adaptive-lubricating action of Ag and MoS2 as the temperature changes. Specifically, Ag and MoS2 are responsible for the improvements in friction and wear performance within 300 °C; MoS2, MoO3 and Ag2MoO4 are be beneficial to the decrease in friction coefficient and wear rate at 500 °C; Ag2MoO4 plays a supporting role in obtaining favorable frictional capability and good wear resistance at 700 °C.
