In-situ measurements of acoustic emission (AE) in self-mated tribological pairs of CVD diamond coated silicon nitride (Si3N4) were made with the purpose of investigating the relationship between AE signal and friction events. A good correlation is found between the energy dissipation/emission processes, therefore enabling the possibility of monitoring the different friction regimes occurring during the sliding ...
Friction and wear behaviour of self-mated chemical vapour deposited (CVD) diamond films coating silicon nitride ceramics (Si3N4) were investigated in ambient atmosphere. The tribological tests were conducted in a reciprocal motion ball-on-flat type tribometer under applied normal loads up to 80 N (~10 GPa). Several characterisation techniques - including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy...
O diamante natural, dada a sua extrema dureza, apresenta elevada resistência ao desgaste. No entanto, além do seu elevado custo, caracteriza-se por uma forte anisotropia no comportamento tribológico. Estas limitações são ultrapassadas pela utilização de revestimentos de diamante obtidos por deposição química em fase vapor (CVD), que pela sua natureza policristalina combinada com a retenção das propriedades de e...
Se han fabricado materiales densos de nitruro de silicio (Si3N4) texturados incorporando semillas de β- Si3N4, favoreciendo su alineación mediante extrusión de las piezas en verde y prensado en caliente. Estos materiales presentan elevada anisotropía microestructural que conduce a un comportamiento anisótropo de sus propiedades, tanto mecánicas como tribológicas. Se han realizado ensayos de desgaste en seco med...
Chemical vapour deposited (CVD) diamond coatings are important for tribological applications due to their unique combination of properties. Previous work demonstrated that silicon nitride (Si3N4) excels as a substrate for diamond coatings due to its low thermal expansion coefficient mismatch relative to diamond films resulting in a significant adhesion improvement. In this study, dense Si3N4 substrates were fab...
