摘要

Current investigation aims to assess the existence of synergistic action among a novel combination of Ag (10 wt pct), Ni-doped rGO (1 wt pct), and Ni-doped h-BN (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt pct) in spark plasma sintered Ni alloy-based self-lubricating nanocomposites sliding against Si3N4 ball at constant load of 5 N and a fixed sliding speed of 0.5 m/s over wide range of temperature, i.e., room temperature (RT) to 800 °C apart from determining the optimum amount of Ni-doped h-BN in accomplishing low friction. The composite containing 8 wt pct h-BN showed the lowest coefficient of friction (~ 0.17–0.27) and wear rate (~5.1–6.5 × 10−5 mm3/Nm) at all the temperatures due to relatively larger amount of h-BN and the synergistic action among Ag, rGO, and h-BN. The synergistic action among these solid lubricants offers an opportunity to synthesize Ni alloy-based self-lubricating nanocomposites for extreme temperature conditions.
