Abstract: Friction experiments were conducted with a reciprocating friction test apparatus to determine the effect of humidity and oxide films on the friction characteristics of ceramics slid against pure ...

Abstract: The friction and wear characteristics of SiC whisker containing composite silicon nitride were studied. Silicon nitride powder which contains densification aids of Y2 O3 and La2 O3 was mixed ...

Abstract: An investigation was conducted to determine the friction and wear characteristics of hot-pressed silicon nitride. Sliding produced wear debris and a damaged surface. The physical and crystallographic ...
