Abstract

This paper reviews recent fundamental work in Japan on the tribology of engineering ceramics. These ceramics show a characteristic tribological response depending on the materials and environmental species in a vacuum, in various gases, in oils, in water and in low-viscosity fluids and at elevated temperatures. The unique tribological interactions, in some cases, significantly affect both the friction and the wear behaviour of ceramics.
