Abstract
Lubricated friction systems and their friction materials have to fulfil high standards concerning mechanical and thermal load capacity, wear, and coefficient of friction. Engineering ceramics show high potential to increase the power density of these systems.
To realize the potential of new materials, it is necessary to provide suitable methods and tools to design high loaded lubricated friction systems with increased performance. Representative for high-loaded friction systems with low pressure and high sliding speed, a lubricated multi-disc clutch has been chosen as a demonstrator system. This demonstrator system is being used to deepen knowledge about the tribological system's behaviour.
