Analysis reveals that Ni and Bi elemental powders are successfully alloyed to form BiNi and Bi<sub>3</sub>Ni intermetallic compounds following vacuum sintering. Incorporation of Ni–Bi alloying powder significantly enhances the friction coefficient and wear rates of the composite coating across the temperature range. Adhesive wear and abrasive wear are identified as primary wear mechanisms.
