Abstract: To select tribological materials for use in clean environments, dust-generation properties from rolling-sliding elements made of silicon nitride ceramics and stainless steel were investigated. The ...

Abstract: The effects of boron and argon ion implantation on the tribological characteristics of SUS440C stainless steel, sliding against a SUS440C ball (unimplanted) were investigated at room temperature ...

Abstract: Micro-tribology is a key technology in micro-mechanics and the magnetic recording head-media interface. The atomic-scale surface state is very important in micro-tribology. However, the concepts ...

Abstract: A scanning probe microscope with a 80 nm radius diamond tip was used to investigate the wear resistance of single-crystal silicon and N+ -implanted silicon. The N+ implantation conditions were ...
