T1 - Effect of sliding speed and relative humidity on the tribological behaviour of ceramic and polymer materials N2 - In many technical applications not only the actual friction coefficient is of importance, but rather the constancy is relevant for the functionality. Due to inconstant friction values, positioning processes can be substantially influenced. Aim of the present work is to characterize the effect of sliding speed and relative humidity on the tribological behavior of selected combinations. The tribological tests were carried out at room temperature in a ball-on-disk configuration at a normal load of 1 N and respectively 10 N under dry sliding conditions. The friction and wear behavior is significantly depending on the sliding speed and humidity conditions. Using a chamber enclosing the tribometer the relative humidity inside could be adjusted to dry (< 5% rH), normal (50% rH) and moist (100% rH) conditions during the testing time. Three different frequencies, 0.2 Hz, 2 Hz and 5 Hz, were used for tribological evaluations. Measuring the friction force hysteresis loop distinct differences in the frictional behavior of different material combinations could be observed. Materials selected were ceramics sliding against PP-based polymer and various polymers sliding against Ti6AlV4.

The tribo-systems with the composite materials containing TiC and TiB2 differ significantly from the systems with the single phase SiC: The wear is reduced and the friction is increased. The wear reduction up to a factor of 10 is mainly due to the formation of an oxide film containing titanium oxides which is soft, stable in water and well adhering to the bulk material. This oxide film is transferred to the alumina ball but not to the silicon carbide ball.

A1 - Wäsche, Rolf A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan T1 - Advanced light element and low energy X-ray analysis of a TiB2 – TiC – SiC ceramic material using EDS spectrum imaging N2 - The accurate EDS microanalysis of light elements such as boron and carbon by spectrum imaging will be demonstrated using a sintered hard ceramic material composed of the three major phases titanium boride (TiB2), titanium carbide (TiC), silicon carbide (SiC) and minor phases, sub-μm in size. The combination of these three materials leads to improved mechanical and tribological properties. Silicon carbide is a material used for mechanical seals. It has the disadvantage of reduced failsafe running functions, causing increased wear when running dry. The added titanium components (TiC and TiB2) improve the failsafe running functions. This technology has already been transferred to industrial applications.
