▎ 摘　　要

This study aimed to explore the possibility of improving the tribological performance of NiAl matrix composites by graphene addition. Friction and wear experiments of as-prepared specimens were conducted under different conditions using a pin-on-disk wear testing machine. NiAl matrix composites containing graphene showed satisfactory performance in friction coefficient and wear resistance compared to NiAl matrix composites without graphene. For the active effect of graphene, the friction coefficient and wear rate of NiAl matrix composites were maintained at relatively lower values. The beneficial antifriction and antiwear effects of graphene gradually failed when the applied load was above 8N. Graphene in NiAl matrix composites played an active role in the formation of a friction layer, which was beneficial to the lower friction coefficient and wear rate. In light of this research, graphene plays an active role in reducing the friction coefficient and wear rate. Hence, graphene has great potential in applications as an effective solid lubricant to promote tribological behavior.
