Abstract
Wear behaviors of MoSi2against Al2O3or SiC under 30N at 1000°C in air have been investigated by using an XP-5 type High Temperature Friction and Wear Tester. The worn surfaces and phases of samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer, respectively. Result shows the wear rate and friction coefficient of MoSi2decreases with the increase of sliding speed. SiC is superior to Al2O3as the counter-face materials of MoSi2. Serious adhesion leads to very high wear rate of Al2O3in this experiment. SiC shows a surprising mass weighing phenomenon, which is caused by oxidation. The main wear mechanism of MoSi2against Al2O3is oxidation and adhesion. However when against SiC, it is chiefly controlled by grinding.
