Abstract

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic material is a high-performance material widely used in engineering in recent years, but its dry sliding wear performance at high temperature has not been deeply studied. This paper first introduces the demand for bearing performance in the field of high-end bearings, and puts forward the development trend of using silicon nitride engineering ceramics to replace metal bearing materials in the field of high-end bearings. Then, the friction and wear behavior and material removal mechanism of different surface quality of hot isostatic pressing Si3N4 ceramic materials at different ambient temperatures are studied. The results show that the friction coefficient of Si3N4 friction pair with the same surface quality increases with the increase of ambient temperature. The transgranular fracture under low temperature environment gradually develops into intergranular fracture under high temperature environment, and the wear amount first increases and then decreases with the increase of test ambient temperature. When the single factor variable test is carried out by controlling the two factors of material surface quality and test temperature, the influence of different surface quality on its friction coefficient and wear is less than that due to temperature change.
