Tailoring the in-situ formation of intermetallic phases in the self-lubricating Al-WS2 composite for enhanced tribological performance with wear track evolution analysis. Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 27, 4891-4907

Self-lubricating aluminium matrix composites with enhanced tribological properties are sought for weight critical applications. In previous studies, the Al composites incorporating the solid lubricant WS2 have been shown to reduce both the coefficien...
