Abstract

In this study, the friction and wear behaviors of TiAl matrix composites with MTC (TMSCT) and TiAl matrix composites with MoO3 powder (TMSCP) are investigated. The results reveal that TMSCT show the excellent tribologcial performance, if compared to TMSCP. The direct contact layers of TMSCP against different counterface balls obtain huge cracks overall, whereas only fine crack is generated in TMSCT against Al2O3 ball, where MTCs are distributed around the crack evenly. The finite element simulations show that only the stress of TMSCT against Al2O3 ball exceeds the yield strength of TMSCT. It reveals that MTCs in TMSCT can reduce the stress for the weak binding force of multilayer structure and make the direct contact layers be more stable by preventing the propagation of crack after the crack being produced, resulting in the excellent antifriction and antiwear properties of TMSCT against different counterface balls.
