Abstract
Abstract
This experimental study concerns the tribological properties of different carbon-porous silicon carbide couples. A tribometer was used to determine the coefficients of static and dynamic friction of these couples of materials. The parameters able to influence the static and the dynamic friction coefficients such as the finish of the porous silicon carbide material, the quality of the carbon material, the normal load, the surroundings and the speed in the case of dynamic friction have been studied.
