Abstract
Yttria stabilized zirconia alumina composite and calcium fluoride (CaF2) added zirconia-alumina composite (ZTA) are synthesized by using co-precipitation process. Aim of the work is to introduce calcium fluoride as a solid lubricant into the zirconia toughened alumina base matrix and study of mechanical and tribological behavior of both the composites. The homogenous elemental distribution of the required elements in the synthesized powder is shown by FESEM images. It has been found that the calcium fluoride added matrix composite shows better co-efficient of friction as compared to the base matrix. The CoF value reduces up to 28.57% with the incorporation of solid lubricant i.e. CaF2. Due to better mechanical properties of the base matrix composite, wear rate of the base matrix is lower than the calcium fluoride added ZTA sample.
