Abstract

The response of Al2O3, Al2O3–SiC–(C) and Al2O3–C nanocomposites to grinding was investigated in terms of changes of quality of ground surfaces and of the weight losses with time. The study used monolithic polycrystalline aluminas as references, and alumina-based composites with nanosized SiC and C inclusions and with alumina matrix grain size varying from submicrometer to approximately 4 μm. The studied materials can be roughly divided into two groups. Materials with submicrometer alumina matrix grains (Group 1) wear predominantly by plastic deformation and grooving. Coarse-grained materials (Group 2) wear by mixed wear mechanism involving crack initiation and interlinking accompanied by grain pull-out, plastic deformation and grooving. The wear rate of composites increases with increasing volume fraction of SiC. The Group 2 materials wear much faster then those with submicron microstructure. In all cases (with one exception) the wear resistance of composites was higher than that of pure aluminas of comparable grain sizes used as reference materials.
