Herein, the wear and friction behavior, under unlubricated sliding in ambient air, of the MAB phase Mn2AlB2 is reported. Various sliding pairs (WC, Al2O3, Si3N4, and chromium-bearing steel 100Cr6) were used in a ball-on-disc apparatus at a normal load of 10 N and a sliding velocity of 20 cm/s. Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to identify the wear mechanisms and tribo-oxidation products involved during the dry sliding contacts. Against WC, Al2O3, and Si3N4, the Mn2AlB2 exhibited wear by tribo-oxidation accompanied with delamination and abrasion, which led to high wear rates on the order of ~10-3 mm3/N · m and coefficients of friction of 0.72–0.87. However, Mn2AlB2/100Cr6 tribopair showed relatively mild wear behavior. The evolution of COF and wear rate for this tribopair, under different loads (5, 10, 15 N) and speeds (5, 25, 50 cm/s), showed the existence of load and speed thresholds (15 N at 25 cm/s and 10 N at 50 cm/s), beyond which an abrupt transition from mild to severe wear of Mn2AlB2 takes place. Below the thresholds, the Mn2AlB2 surfaces remain undamaged with the formation of a protective transfer layer, composed of a mixture of iron and manganese oxides. Above the thresholds, both friction and wear increase, and the Mn2AlB2 wears by microfracture and grain pullout.
