High-Temperature Tribology of Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites Elsevier Series on Tribology and Surface Engineering Series

High Temperature Tribology of Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites synthesizes the latest cutting-edge research on various applications of ceramics and ceramic matrix composites in high temperature settings. The book covers the fundamentals of high-temperature tribology, the mechanical behavior of these materials in high temperature settings, and their various tribochemical reactions. Methods for improving friction, wear, and lubrication properties of these materials in high temperature settings are covered at length, as are the fabrication methods of ceramics, CMCs and hard ceramic coatings.

Additionally, the book includes insights on the various wear modes of ceramics and CMCs such as adhesion wear, abrasion wear, delamination wear, erosion wear, as well as the formation of oxides and other components at elevated temperatures and their influences on friction and wear performance.
