The tribological properties of a Fe 3 Al material in an aqueous solution of 1mol/l H 2 SO 4 corrosive environment sliding against a Si 3 N 4 ceramic ball are studied using an Optimol SRV oscillating friction and wear tester in a ball-on-disc contact configuration. We investigate the effects of load and sliding speed on tribological properties of the Fe 3 Al material. The worn surfaces of the Fe 3 Al material are examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS). It is found that the Fe 3 Al material exhibits better wear resistance than 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel in the sulfuric acid corrosive environment. The wear rate of the Fe 3 Al material is on the order of 10 −13 m 3 /m and increases with increasing load, but does not vary below the sliding speed of 0.08m/s then dramatically increases with increasing sliding speed. The friction coefficient of the Fe 3 Al material is in the range of 0.1–0.28, and slightly increases with increasing load, and does not vary with the increase of sliding speed. The Fe 3 Al material occurs tribochemical reaction with the H 2 SO 4 aqueous solution in the friction process. Wear mechanism of the Fe 3 Al material is dominated by microploughing and corrosive wear.
