In situ TiB-based reinforced composites in the Ti matrix were processed using spark plasma sintering (SPS), and the tribological potential with increasing concentration of B in the composite was explored. Wear and friction tests were carried out at different loads to evaluate the tribological performance of composites prepared by varying the B content 10 at%, 20 at%, and 30 at%, fixing the Fe content. Reciprocating test was used for sliding wear at 10, 15, 20, and 25 N against a counter-body of AISI52100 Steel ball. The presence of beta-Ti, TiB, and FeTi phases was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Increase in hardness (i.e., 488 to 964 HV_0.1) is observed with TiB variation from 13 to 46.8 vol%. 13 vol% TiB shows highest wear and coefficient of friction(COF), while 46.8 vol% B shows the lowest wear and COF at all loads. HR-SEM was used for examination of worn surfaces, which reveals that the wear mechanism is a combination of adhesive, delamination, ploughing, oxidation, and abrasion.

使用放电等离子烧结 (SPS) 对 Ti 基体中的原位 TiB 基增强复合材料进行了加工，并探索了随着复合材料中 B 浓度增加的摩擦学电位。在不同负载下进行磨损和摩擦测试，以评估通过改变 B 含量 10 at%、20 at% 和 30 at% 并固定 Fe 含量制备的复合材料的摩擦学性能。往复试验用于在 10、15、20 和 25 N 下对 AISI52100 钢球的反体进行滑动磨损。通过 X 射线衍射分析证实了 β-Ti、TiB 和 FeTi 相的存在。硬度增加（即 488 至 964 HV _0.1) 观察到 TiB 变化从 13 到 46.8 vol%。在所有负载下，13 vol% TiB 的磨损和摩擦系数 (COF) 最高，而 46.8 vol% B 的磨损和 COF 最低。HR-SEM 用于检查磨损表面，表明磨损机制是粘合、分层、犁地、氧化和磨损的组合。
