Effects of Different Solid Lubricants on Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Al2O3/ZrO2 Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solid lubricants were suited for the applications of high temperature parts. Recently, researches for self-lubricating ceramic matrix composites using solid lubricants, such as MoS2, WS2, h-BN, and graphite etc., became active. This work is to use the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique in order to make self-lubricating Al2O3/15wt% ZrO2 nanocomposites with higher mechanical properties. To optimize the self-lubricating Al2O3/15wt% ZrO2 nanocomposite systems were added with different solid lubricants (CaF2, BaF2, MoS2, WS2, h-BN, and graphite). The coefficient of friction of CaF2, h-BN and graphite added composites in steady-state at room temperature are below 0.3.
