Tribological Properties of Aluminum and Silicon Borides at High Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

In our present study, AlB12 and SiB6 plate specimens prepared by spark plasma sintering AlB12 and SiB6 powders, respectively, and their tribological properties were investigated in the temperature range of 25°C to 1000°C in air. Also, the micro Vickers hardness of the AlB12 and SiB6 plate specimens were evaluated in the temperature range of 25°C to 1000°C in an Ar gas atmosphere. It was found that both the steady friction coefficients of the AlB12 and SiB6 plate specimens were as low as 0.07 to 0.08 at 1000°C. According to XPS analyses, it was found that Al2O3 and B2O3 films were observed on the worn surfaces of the AlB12 plate specimens after sliding at 1000°C. On the other hand, SiO2 and B2O3 films were observed on the worn surfaces of the SiB6 plate specimens after sliding at the same temperature. It was also found that both the boride plate specimens exhibited micro Vickers hardness as high as 20 GPa in the temperature range of 25°C to 1000°C.
