Ceramics are of increasing interest for application in many branches of technique. In order to improve the tribological performance of ceramic materials, composites on the basis of silicon carbide with different amounts of titanium carbide, boron carbide, titanium diboride and free carbon in the form of graphite were manufactured by a reaction sintering process.
The friction and wear behaviour of these composites was investigated with oscillating sliding motion in unlubricated tests at room temperature on different levels of relative humidity. Additional tests were performed under water lubrication, revealing the superior behaviour of composites for special test conditions. A major influence of the free carbon on friction or wear behaviour was not observed. The tribological behaviour in air as well as under water is mainly dependant on the amount of titanium phases.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS OF A 99.7 % ALPHA-ALUMINA MATRIX WITH PLATELETS OF SILICON CARBIDE (SICP) HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY GELCASTING. DENSIFICATION WAS CARRIED OUT BY GAS-PRESSURE SINTERING WITHOUT FURTHER SINTERING AIDS. FIVE DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS WITH 0, 5, 10, 15, AND 20 VOL.% SICP RESP. HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES WERE CHARACTERIZED. INCREASING AMOUNT OF SICP AS RIGID PARTICLES IN THE FINE GRAINED MATRIX COMPLICATE THE DENSIFICATION PROCESS. WITH THE APPLICATION OF 50 BAR AR PRESSURE DURING THE FINAL SINTERING STEP AT A TEMPERATURE OF 1700 DEGREE C THE DENSITY OF THE SAMPLES COULD BE INCREASED BY 3-5%. INVESTIGATION OF THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AGAINST STEEL AS A COUNTERBODY UNDER UNLUBRICATED OSCILLATING SLIDING CONDITIONS SHOWED A HIGH COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION AND AN INCREASING WEAR RATE UP TO A SICP CONTENT OF 10 VOL. % . AT 15 AND 20 VOL. % SICP RESP. BOTH THE COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION AND THE COEFFICIENT OF WEAR DROP DOWN.
Ceramic particulate composites in the system SiC-TiC-TiB2 sliding against SiC and Al2O3 under water
(1999)
The tribological behaviour of SiC, SiC-TiC and SiC-TiC-TiB2 was determined in oscillating sliding against SiC and -Al2O3 in water at room temperature. 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.
The friction and wear behaviour of a new developed, pressureless sintered TiB2 ceramic was studied in comparison to SiC against SiC and Al2O3 balls under unlubricated conditions at room temperature. Special attention was paid to the influence of relative humidity on friction and wear results. For both ceramics the coefficient of friction against both ball materials decreases with increasing humidity and is higher in tests against alumina than against SiC. The wear rate is affected significantly by humidity and decreases by one order of magnitude for Al2O3/SiC system and by 2 orders of magnitude for SiC/SiC system. For TiB2 wear rates are nearly not affected by humidity against both ball materials and are much smaller than for SiC.
