Abstract
This invention is related to a metal-based gradient composite material having good lubrication and wear-resistance properties. The composite material comprises a metal (M) matrix and a gradient composite layer of metal sulfide (M[S]) and metal oxide,(M[O]) on the surface of said metal matrix. In the gradient composite layer,, the sum (Ds+Do) of the concentration of metal sulfide (Ds) and the concentration of metal oxide (Do) decreases gradually from the surface to the interior, and the concentration of metal (D ) increases from the surface to the interior. The invention is also related to a process for producing the gradient composite material and the use of the same.
