Abstract

The MAX phase ceramics are one of the most promising solid lubricants for high-temperature (HT) conditions. Herein, two new quaternary MAXs with regulatable transition-metal constituents (Cr₁Ti_0.75Mo_0.75V_0.5AlC₂ and Cr_1.25Ti_0.75Mo_0.75V_0.25AlC₂) are synthesized based on an high-entropy (HE) analogue. Their tribological properties against the Si₃N₄ tribocouple in a wide temperature up to 800 ºC in the air are systematically studied, the impacts of the Cr and V contents on lubricity and anti-wear performance of the Cr-Ti-Mo-V MAXs are illuminated as well. At an extreme operating temperature of 800 °C, Cr_1.25Ti_0.75Mo_0.75V_0.25AlC₂ presents excellent self-lubrication performance with a mean COF of 0.20 and a mean wear rate as low as 3.6 × 10⁻⁷ mm³ N⁻¹ m⁻¹.
