The microstructure and dry sliding wear performance of as-cast TiC p /Ti-1100-0.5Nb composite at 25 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C were systematically investigated. Results show that the solidification matrix microstructure is the typical Widmanstätten structure. The eutectic TiC particles are uniformly distributed in the matrix in the form of feathery, long rod and strip-like shapes. Meanwhile, the interface between TiC and titanium matrix is clear and without any reaction. The wear rate of TiC p /Ti-1100-0.5Nb at 600 °C and 500 °C is reduced by 95.8% and 79.9%, respectively, compared with that of the value of 51.8×10 -6 mm 3 •mm -1 at 25 °C. The friction coefficient of the steady-state period at 25 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C is 0.48, 0.8, 1.2, respectively, and the variation extent of the friction coefficient at elevated temperatures is greater than at 25 °C. The wear mechanism is changed from the mixture of adhesive wear and abrasive wear to mild oxidation wear with rising temperature. It can also be concluded that the composite possesses excellent high temperature wear resistance. The highwear resistance of the composite is attributed to the Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 . The presence of Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 reduces the wear rate, increases the friction coefficient, and also improves the range-ability of the friction coefficient.
