“…Mass wear as a function of friction distance for materials is well described by linear equations, regardless of the soil type ( Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 ). As in other studies [ 19 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], soil grain size distribution has a fundamental effect on the mass wear of the materials under study ( Table 5 ). The wear of nitride-bonded silicon carbide in abrasive soil mass also depends on the soil grain size distribution.…”

Nitride-bonded silicon carbide is an alternative to steels resistant to abrasive wear. This paper presents the results of a nitride-bonded silicon carbide (SiC) wear test in diverse soil conditions. The test was performed on a “spinning bowl” test stand on three soil types: loamy sand, light loam and ordinary loam. The results were referred to the wear test for materials used to make parts working soil mass, i.e., abrasive wear-resistant steel, boron steel and C + Cr + Nb padding weld. The abrasive wear resistance of silicon carbide was shown to depend on the grain size distribution of the soil being worked. Silicon carbide showed the highest resistance in light soil. However, the padding weld showed higher wear resistance in the other soil conditions. Nitride-bonded silicon carbide had higher wear resistance than the steels under study in all of the soils. These findings are supplemented by an analysis of the condition of the worked surfaces after friction tests. The dominant wear methods in all abrasive masses were micro-cutting and furrowing.

“…To date, no information has been found in the literature on the wear pattern of silicon carbide-based materials compared to materials commonly considered as resistant to wear in natural abrasives. The available literature reports show the topicality of the issue of new silicon carbide materials wear [3,4,15,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Tribochemical wear is ubiquitous, and the related mechanisms have been gradually analyzed down to nanoscale and even atomic level [112,116,[127][128][129]. In several review papers, the tribochemical wear was solved based on the assumption of chemical reactions among the confined molecules or atoms on the sliding interface [130][131][132]. Here, the water sensitive tribochemical wear is mainly indicated as depending on the interfacial water configuration.…”

Surficial water adsorption and interfacial water condensation as natural phenomena that can alter the contact status of the solid interface and tribological performances are crucial in all length scales, i.e., from earthquakes to skating at the macroscale level and even to micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS) at the microscale/nanoscale level. Interfacial water exhibits diverse structure and properties from bulk water because of its further interaction with solid surfaces. In this paper, the evolutions of the molecular configuration of the adsorbed water layer depending on solid surface chemistry (wettability) and structure, environmental conditions (i.e., relative humidity and temperature), and experimental parameters (i.e., sliding speed and normal load) and their impacts on tribological performances, such as adhesion, friction, and wear, are systematically reviewed. Based on these factors, interfacial water can increase or reduce adhesion and friction as well as facilitate or suppress the tribochemical wear depending on the water condensation kinetics at the interface as well as the thickness and structure of the involved interfacial water.

“…formation (which is the case here), it is the formation and propagation of lateral cracks, which results in the wear of brittle materials. [ 57 ] No chipping or delamination was observed in any case during scratching. Inelastic deformation patterns reported earlier during scratch testing of ZrB 2 –SiC composites include micro‐cracking, parallel lines, material damage, and material removal; [ 19 ] however, in our case, micro‐cracking along with material damage by plastic deformation and few grain pull outs, without any material removal, is observed.…”

Among all the members from different families of ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs), including borides, carbides, and nitrides, zirconium diboride (ZrB 2) is a special one, [1] possessing extraordinary combination of properties, [2-4] such as high mechanical properties viz. hardness (15-29.4 GPa [5-8]), fracture toughness (2.8-4 MPa m 1/2[6,9,10]), high thermal conductivity (57.9-60 W m À1 K À1[11,12]), low electrical resistivity (9.2-10 μΩ cm [13,14]), and also low density (6.1 g cm À3[7,15]). However, for hypersonic applications, hardness, fracture toughness, and tribological properties need to be improved, and the density of monolithic ZrB 2 needs to be reduced further to produce maneuverable hypersonic vehicles. [16] Moreover, poor sinterability of UHTCs, in general, and, thus, in ZrB 2 , due to its strong covalent bonding, adherence of oxide impurities on its particles' surface, and poor self-diffusivity, has always been a matter of concern. [17,18] In this context, reinforcement with a suitable secondary phase, such as SiC, B 4 C, ZrC, and MoSi 2 , has improved not only densification but also mechanical properties, such as hardness and fracture toughness, oxidation resistance, thermal properties, and wear resistance as well. [16,18-21] Among these reinforcements, B 4 C and SiC possess low density (2.52 and 3.16 g cm À3 , respectively [16,22]) and are attracting more interest in enhancing the performance of UHTCs. Enormous research has been carried out to study the effect of reinforcements on the mechanical, oxidation, and thermal performance of ZrB 2. SiCreinforced ZrB 2 composites have received special interest, [23-25] considered as baseline UHTC composites [17,26-29] with 20 vol% SiC as optimal for aerospace applications; [30-33] however, studies regarding the effect of reinforcement on tribological behavior are available in scarce as compared with studies on other aspects, such as mechanical, thermal, and oxidation behavior. One of the earliest studies on the friction and wear of hot pressed (2100 C for 1 h at 34.3 MPa in Ar) ZrB 2-based composites carried out by Umeda et al. [34] in the 1990s showed the coefficient of friction (cof) varied between 0.90 and 0.95. With an increase in relative humidity (RH; from <10 to >70%), cof decreased to 0.2-0.4. The tests were performed in air using reciprocating pin-on-block instrument with pin and block of the same material at 7.8 N load and a sliding speed of 1.5 mm s À1 for 100 cycles. Hertzian cracks were formed perpendicular to the sliding direction in ZrB 2 and ZrB 2 þ B 4 C (50:50 wt%) composite, whereas no cracks developed in the ZrB 2 þ B 4 C þ SiC (46:46:8 wt%) composite, revealing the effective role of synergetic reinforcement of B 4 C and SiC in toughening the ZrB 2 matrix. Recently, Medveď et al. [35] processed ZrB 2-based composites viz. ZrB 2 þ 10 wt% B 4 C, ZrB 2 þ 10 wt% SiC, and ZrB 2 þ 10 wt% ZrC via spark plasma sintering (SPS; sintered from 1800 to 2050 C at 50 MPa for 10 min in Ar) to study the tribological behavior of carbide reinforceme...
