Abstract
The sialon and silicon carbide ceramics are noted for their hardness and resistance to wear in certain applications. However, there is little published information concerning the wear behaviour of these materials. We report here the results of a study of wear behaviour and associated wear mechanisms, for one material of each class.
Steady state wear factors have been determined at room temperature for homogeneous sliding couples, tested in laboratory air, using reciprocatory pin-on-plate, and tri-pin-on-disc configurations, over sliding distances of up to 900 km. Shorter term tests have been made with a plate-on-rotating cylinder configuration.
Wear rates have been interpreted in terms of the postulated mechanisms of material removal, based on microscopical and other examinations of worn surfaces and wear debris.
