Abstract  

The tribological behavior of TC11 Ti-alloy was studied via an MPX-2000 type friction and wear tester with TC11Ti-alloy as pin and GCr15 steel as disc in conditions of applying different loads and incorporating various nano-lubricants onto the interface of pin/disc. The surface morphology, cross-section morphology, composition and structure of worn TC11 Ti-alloy were comparatively characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscope and X-ray diffractometer. The results show that tribo-layer of nano-particulates could form on the worn surface of TC11 Ti-alloy when different type of nanomaterials were incorporated onto the sliding interface of the tribo-pairs. The stability of the tribo-layer depends on its composition and the relative content of each component. The multi-layered graphene (MLG) containing tribo-layer possessed poor stability and readily damaged because of its low load-bearing capacity. The Fe2O3 containing tribo-layer possessed good stability under lower loads, resulting in the reduced wear and increased friction. The double-layered tribo-layer composed simultaneously of MLG and Fe2O3 possessed high stability, which can be ascribed to the good lubrication and load-bearing capacity. As a result, the friction and wear performance of TC11 Ti-alloy was markedly enhanced. Especially the double-layered MLG/Fe2O3 nano-particulate tribo-layer with Fe2O3-rich nanocomposite possessed higher stability and thus the tribological properties of TC11 Ti-alloy could be much effectively improved.
