Abstract

Multilayer graphene (MLG), Fe2O3, and their nanocomposites with various proportions and amounts were applied as additives and directly participated in the formation of tribo-layers during sliding wear of TC11 alloy against AISI 52100 steel. Their ingredients and amounts were found to exert substantial effects on the additive-containing tribo-layers and wear behavior. Irrespective of the added amount of MLG or Fe2O3, the formed tribo-layers, because of the lack of load-bearing or lubricant capacity, readily lost stability and protection function, causing a high wear rate. However, a small quantity of MLG/Fe2O3 nanocomposites could result in a remarkable decrease in the wear rate. This was attributed to the stable existence and continuous protection of a friction-reduced and wear-resistant double-layer tribo-layer. In particular, Fe2O3-rich nanocomposite additives produced more protective tribo-layers to markedly improve the wear resistance of TC11 alloy.
