Abstract: The wear performance of the ultrahard B 4 C–SiC–TiB 2 ceramic composite was investigated in unlubricated sliding contact in various friction pairs with other ceramics of very different mechanical properties (diamond, Y 2 O 3 -stabilised ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Si 3 N 4 , and borosilicate glass) under otherwise identical contact conditions. It was found that this composite is, due to its ultra-high hardness (∼35(1) GPa), a promising material for tribological applications (sliding-wear resistance of the order of 105–108 (N·m)/mm3) that undergoes only very mild two-body abrasion against diamond (∼6.5(7)·10−9 mm3/(N·m)) and mild three-body abrasion against ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Si 3 N 4 , and borosilicate glass (10−6–10−7 mm3/(N·m)). It was also found that the B 4 C–SiC–TiB 2 composite wore faster against Si 3 N 4 (∼3.1(3)·10−6 mm3/(N·m)) than against Al 2 O 3 (∼1.8(3)·10−6 mm3/(N·m)), next against borosilicate glass (∼1.1(1)·10−6 mm3/(N·m)), and finally slowest against ZrO 2 (∼7.2(6)·10−7 mm3/(N·m)), a trend that was justified based on the consideration that its three-body abrasion is a complex phenomenon conditioned by the abundance and hardness of the wear debris, the formation and coherence of protective tribolayers (either oxide or material transfer), and the effective contact pressure acting on the wear debris. Finally, implications arising from the study are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
