Scratch Resistance of the Si3N4-Graphene Nanoplatelets Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The scratch resistance of the silicon nitride with the addition of 1 and 7 wt% of graphene multiplatelets prepared by hot press sintering has been studied. The scratch resistance behaviour of Si3N4-GNP composites were investigated using a Rockwell indenter for normal applied loads ranging from 1-150 N. Si3N4-7-wt%GNP composite behaved differently during the scratch test depending on the normal applied load. The coefficient of friction changed dramatically at higher load and extensive crack propagation resulting in the chipping is observed.
