A wear resistant bearing system includes an inner member that has an internal core and a bearing surface which has a 50 Rockwell C scale hardness or greater. The inner member has a chemical composition that is uniform throughout the internal core and the bearings surface. The wear resistant bearing system includes an outer member that partially surrounds the inner member and includes a receiving surface that has liner system adhered thereto. The liner system includes a wear resistant matrix that has one or more reinforcing fiber systems and has one or more lubricative fibers system dispersed in the wear resistant matrix. The liner system has a wear surface that has portions of both the reinforcing fiber system and the lubricative fiber system. The wear surface is continuous.

An anti-wear composite structure includes an anti-wear layer that has a wear surface opposite an adhesive receiving surface and a thermosetting resin applied to the adhesive receiving surface. The thermosetting resin includes a reactive adhesive configured to bond the anti-wear composite structure to a substrate at an ambient temperature band via pressure-sensitive adhesion. The thermosetting resin has an onset to cure in the ambient temperature band and has a peak cure temperature greater than the ambient temperature band to mechanically and chemically bond the anti-wear composite structure to a substrate.

A composite material having an alloy matrix including titanium, aluminum, niobium, manganese, boron, and carbon is disclosed. The composite material includes, by atomic percentage, 40.0% to 50.0% Al, 1.0% to 8.0% Nb, 0.5% to 2.0% Mn, 0.1% to 2.0% B, and 0.01% to 0.2% C. The composite material is doped with a solid lubricant such as MoS, ZnO, CuO, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), WS, AgTaO, CuTaO, CuTaO, or combinations thereof. Components composed of the composite material exhibit increased ductility at room temperature and reduced fracture tendency, resulting in improved durability.
