The paper presents the results of research on the tribological properties of spark-plasma-sintered Al-SiC composites. Composites with contents of 50 and 70 wt.% SiC were prepared. The sintering process was carried out using an HP D 25/3 spark plasma sintering furnace under vacuum, at the sintering temperature of 600 °C and compaction pressures of 50 and 80 MPa, respectively. The heating rate was 100 °C/min and the holding time was 10 min. Composites with a density of 91–100% were obtained. The tribological properties of the composites were evaluated based on weight loss and the coefficient of friction using a block-on-ring tribotester. Along with the weight percentage of SiC and compaction pressure, the sliding distance, and load during the tribological test were considered. Both the weight percentage of SiC and compaction pressure affected the tribological behavior of Al-SiC composites. It was found that the wear resistance was higher when a lower compaction pressure and a smaller amount of reinforcing phase (50 wt.%) were used.

Mesocarbon microbead–silicon carbide (MCMB–SiC) composites with 0–30 wt % MCMBs were prepared by pressureless sintering (PLS) method at 2200 °C in Ar. The microstructure and tribological properties of the prepared composites were investigated. The results show that there was a finer grain size of SiC with the increase in MCMB content because MCMBs hinder the growth of SiC grains. The hardness of the composites decreased with increasing MCMB content, whereas the fracture toughness fluctuated showing a complex trend. The tribological properties of the composites under dry friction conditions were evaluated using the pin-on-disk method against a SiC counterpart. We found that the tribological properties of the samples were influenced by the oxide film or lubricating film that formed during the wear process on wear surfaces. Different wear mechanisms were found to be associated with differing MCMB contents.

Carbon fibre reinforced carbon and silicon carbide dual matrix composites (C/C-SiC) were fabricated by warm compacted in-situ reaction. The C/C-SiC composites microstructure and tribological properties at different brake speeds were investigated. The results indicated that the composites were composed of 58 wt% C, 37 wt% SiC and 5 wt% Si. The density and open porosity were 2.0 g•cm-3 and 10%, respectively. The C/C-SiC brake composites show excellent tribological performance, including a good stability of brake, the coefficient of friction between 0.57 and 0.67, and the wear rate less than 2.02 cm3•MJ-1. These results show that the C/C-SiC brake composites are the promising candidates for advanced brake and clutch systems.

AbstractThere is a need for metrology, characterization and optimization of CMP pad architecture before being put into service. psiloQuest, Inc. has developed a novel polishing pad which is made up of polyolefin material instead of conventional polyurethane. The surface of the pad has been modified to match the surface of the material under going CMP. In this research, we have optimized the PECVD tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) surface coating duration and pad thickness for optimum pad output. The pad was then extensively characterized using the several standard metrology techniques such as SEM, XPS and nanoindentation. The CMP performance evaluation of all the candidate pads was done using CETR CP-4TM bench top CMP tester. There was a correlation and interdependence of the pad coating time and surface chemical, micromechanical and tribological properties. However, their impact on the pad CMP performance was found to be indirect, if any. These findings were used to optimize the pad design and architecture before commercialization. The demonstrated methodology can also be implemented for parametric optimization of polishing pads with novel designs in the future.
