Abstract

The tribological properties of ceramic composites of the system TiN−AlN are studied in the concentration range 10–90% AlN. It was found that materials which contain 25, 50, and 75% AlN have a low friction coefficient. Their rate of wear when paired with steel is neglible—2.9–6.0 μm/km (the wear rate of a steel-steel 024 couple is 1000 μm/km). Thin oxide films are formed during friction at high velocities and pressures. These films have relatively high adhesion with respect to materials of the TiN−AlN system and relatively low adhesion with respect to steel. The films may act as a solid lubricant, thus reducing the friction coefficient and wear. This is particularly true of the materials 25% TiN−75% AlN and 50% TiN−50% AlN.
