The invention belongs to the technical field of materials, and specifically relates to a nano-carbon-reinforced wear-resistant composite material. The nano-carbon-reinforced wear-resistant composite material comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 55-99% of metal powder, 0.1-35% of ceramic powder, and 0.01-15% of nano-carbon, wherein the metal powder is used as a composite material matrix; the ceramic powder is used as a wear-resistant filling material; and the nano-carbon comprises single-wall carbon nano-tubes, multi-wall carbon nano-tubes and other materials, and is mainly used for improving the heat-conducting performance, strength, toughness, wear resistance and other performances of the composite material. The wear-resistant composite material disclosed by the invention can keep a stable friction coefficient and a low wear rate under the conditions of a heavy load, a high speed, and long-time braking.
