Abstract

High-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution (HCHP) was regard as potential fuel resources. However, mechanical wear of moving parts under HCHP was energy-wasteful and dangerous. This work designed a novel SiC ceramic/AlCoCrFeNiTi0.5 high-entropy alloy tribo-pair, which successfully achieved outstanding self-lubrication under HCHP. The lubrication behavior of the proposed tribo-pair mainly benefitted from three aspects: (i) oxidation and hydrolysis reactions of SiC ceramic, (ii) hydrodynamic and secondary lubrication effects of surface pores, (iii) inhibited adhesion behaviors between SiC ceramic and AlCoCrFeNiTi0.5 alloy. Rounding the pore edges of SiC ceramic further improved the load-carrying capacity of self-lubrication. The wear bottleneck problem under harsh HCHP was solved in this work.
