In order to acquire deep insights into understanding the lubricative properties of multilayer graphene (MLG) for MLG-reinforced TiAl matrix composites (GTMC), the high-temperature tribological performance of GTMC is investigated for the first time from 100 to 700?°C using a rotating ball-on-disk configuration. Tribological results indicate the evolution of lubricative properties of MLG with testing temperature. In the testing temperature range from 100 to 550?°C, MLG presents the excellent lubricative properties due to its low shear and highly protective nature. Between 550 and 600?°C, the transition of lubricative properties of MLG occurs. Above 600?°C, MLG loses the lubricative properties due to its oxidation but improves the oxidation resistance of GTMC by sealing the grain boundaries and inhibiting the influx of oxygen through grain boundaries.
