The volume fraction of these two phases in the Ti<sub>50</sub>Al<sub>42</sub>Mo<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>4</sub> alloy was higher than that in the Ti<sub>50</sub>Al<sub>46</sub>Mo<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>2</sub> alloy owing to the increase of Mo and Si content. The distribution of these two phases can be further controlled by the EML-FC process to form the gradient distribution with increasing volume fraction from edge to center in alloys.

The denser passivation film on the surface of Ti<sub>50</sub>Al<sub>42</sub>Mo<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>4</sub> alloy by EML-FC mixed with wear debris and formed a friction film on the alloy surface to provide more effective protection and lubrication for the matrix during tribocorrosion. Moreover, the gradient distribution with the higher volume fraction of B2 and Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> phases in the Ti<sub>50</sub>Al<sub>42</sub>Mo<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>4</sub> alloy significantly restrained pulling out of the alloy matrix, caused Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> and B2 phases to be oxidized to reduce wear on the matrix and effectively enhanced repassivation ability under tribocorrosion condition.

A ball-on-disc tribometer with optical interferometry was employed to measure the film thickness of the water-based lubricants. The results highlight the sensitivity of film formation to entrainment speed, slide-to-roll ratio (SRR), temperature, and lubricant composition. Water loss due to evaporation significantly impacts film formation at high temperatures. Additionally, an unusual increase in film thickness was observed for the glycol-water solution, likely due to complex tribological conditions. The limitations of the classical Hamrock-Dowson film thickness equation for water-based lubricants are also discussed. Furthermore, pressure-viscosity coefficients of the water-based lubricants were estimated using both optical interferometry and high-pressure viscometer methods.

The results revealed that compared with GR, covalent bond mixed hybridization reduced the mechanical strength of GF, but the robust spherical structure enhanced its bending stiffness. Under fluid lubrication, GR promoted adsorption film formation and rapid flow to induce low-shear strength solid-liquid interfacial slip. GF inhibited this characteristic and thus induced liquid-liquid interlayer slip with high frictional resistance. Under boundary lubrication, GR exhibited superior tribological performance compared to GF, with the bilayer outperforming the monolayer. This was attributed to the high bending stiffness of GF inhibiting the bending deformation releasing stresses and thus deteriorating the mechanical contact with the asperity.

The lubricating properties were investigated using a four-ball friction tester, and wear scars were characterized using the depth-of-field microscope, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy.

The sample treated at 450 ºC presents the best anti-wear properties compared to other samples, primarily due to the presence of prominent ε-Fe<sub>2–3</sub>N phase and blunt surface asperities. A maximum reduction in wear volume of about 3 times the base value is recorded in the wear test. The microscopic and elemental analyses are conducted on the wear scars, wear debris, and counter-body worn-out surfaces to study the wear mechanism comprehensively.
