Abstract

This SPP project with Novus was to investigate tribological properties of candidate ceramic composites. Systematic tribological bench tests and surface characterization were performed to determine composition-property relationships of several Zr-Ti-B based ceramic composites of different compositions. The lowest friction coefficient was measured with Ti0.6Zr0.4B2 composition tested in the hydraulic oil. Surface characterization suggests a formation of ZDDP tribofilm in the worn region when tested with a hydraulic oil. In all experiments, the ceramic composites did not have measurable wear, but caused material loss of the steel countersurface.
