Two-dimensional (2D) Ti₃C₂T_x MXene is an attractive additive not only used in base oil due to its low friction coefficient, but also used in composites due to its high aspect ratio and rich surface functional groups. So far there has been intense research into polymer matrix composites reinforced with Ti₃C₂T_x. Here we report on the use of 2D Ti₃C₂T_x to enhance the mechanical and frictional properties of Al matrix composites. Ti₃C₂T_x/Al composites were designed and prepared by pressureless sintering followed by hot extrusion technique. The prepared composites exhibit a homogeneous distribution of Ti₃C₂T_x. The Vickers hardness and the tensile strength continuously increase with increasing Ti₃C₂T_x content. A hardness of 0.52 GPa and a tensile strength of 148 MPa were achieved in the 3 wt% Ti₃C₂T_x/Al composite. The frictional properties of pure Al and the Ti₃C₂T_x/Al composite were comparably studied under dry sliding. A low friction coefficient of 0.2, twice lower than that of pure Al, was achieved in the 3 wt% Ti₃C₂T_x/Al composite. Ti₃C₂T_x acting as a solid lubricant reduces the abrasive wear in the composite, improving the frictional properties of Al matrix composites.
