Microhardness, Friction and Wear of SiC and Si3N4 Materials as a Function of Load, Temperature and Environment.

Abstract

As part of the overall research program aimed at an investigation of the hardness, friction and wear behaviour of SiC and Si3N4 engineering ceramics as a function of load, temperature and environment, the microhardness and indentation fracture response of various forms of SiC (1) and one form of Si3N4 have been studied using both Vickers and Knoop indentation techniques at temperatures ranging from 20-800 degrees C and at applied loads of between 0.1 and 1kgf, in vacuo.
