Tribological Behavior of Surface Bionic Rhombic-Textured M50 Steel Containing SnAgCu and MXene-Nb2C under Dry Sliding Conditions

The bionic rhombic textures with SnAgCu and Nb2C were used to improve tribological properties of M50. Compared with M50, friction coefficient and wear depth of M50-SnAgCu-Nb2C with 45° textures at 15 N were separately decreased by 42.67 and 70.37%, and those of M50-SnAgCu-Nb2C with 60° textures at 25 N were, respectively, decreased by 42.04 and 65.03%. Nb2C can promote the combination and spread of composite lubricants in bionic textures, and a uniform and dense lubrication layer was formed at the interface. The synergistic effect of SnAgCu-Nb2C and bionic textures can play an excellent antifriction and wear resistance role under specific working conditions.
