To improve the wear resistance of Fe-based cladding, NbC particles with different morphology are generated in situ by adding Nb, Cr 3 C 2 and C with different content. The composition of samples and the morphology of NbC particles generated in situ are revealed by XRD , SEM and EDS. The wear resistance is studied by a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine. The wear mode and the wear mechanism of each sample are investigated. The results show that although NbC particles are generated in situ in samples with different Nb, Cr 3 C 2 and C content, the morphology of NbC particles is varied. The wear resistance of samples containing cross-shaped NbC particles is more outstanding than that of samples containing only rectangular NbC particles. In addition, changing Nb, Cr 3 C 2 and C content does not result in a change in wear mode, but leads to the formation of continuous lattice structure of Cr 0.19 Fe 0.7 Ni 0.11 and Cr 23 C 6 compounds at grain boundaries and a change in the wear resistance. When the additions of Nb, Cr 3 C 2 and C are 11.2 wt%, 8.6 wt% and 0.2 wt% respectively, the coefficient of friction of the sample is the lowest, and the wear resistance is the most outstanding.

The unique microstructure of biomaterials provides inspiration in materials structure design and performance breakthroughs. Here we prepared a MoAlB reinforced Al matrix composites with laminated structure and strong interfacial bonding. This work mainly focuses on the relationship between tribological properties of the MoAlB/Al laminated composites and the MoAlB layer orientation. The results show that the tribological properties of the composites deeply depend on the relation of sliding direction VS. the MoAlB layer orientation, while the dependency gradually decreases with the MoAlB content increasing. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites can be decreased by 55.5% and 95.1%, lower than those of pure Al, when 15 vol% MoAlB reinforcement is added. The friction and wear mechanisms of the MoAlB/Al laminated composites are proposed, and the outstanding tribological properties are ascribed to the formation of tribochemical worn film and different stress states caused by the laminated structure.
