Wear of friction pairs made of titanium carbide-based metal–ceramic material

Resumo

The wear of direct and reverse friction pairs made of TiC–ZhS6U titanium carbide-based metal–ceramic material and the metal component of this material, i.e., the ZhS6U nickel-base casting superalloy, has been studied. Both uncoated friction pairs and pairs with TiN and TiC coatings have been tested under a load of 2 N at a velocity of sliding of 0.15 m/s. It has been found that TiC–ZhS6U + TiC–TiC–ZhS6U + TiC has the highest wear resistance.
