Silicon carbide (SiC) is well known as a ceramic material which have superior friction and wear resistance characteristic in the water. That is used as a material for sliding bearings and mechanical seals. However, it have a problem that friction and wear become large in the ultra-pure water and during slow rotation. Then, we studied to improve the tribological properties of the carbon nanofiber (CNF) on the surface of sintered SiC grown by the SiC surface decomposition method. As a result, the friction force was reduced by the CNF on SiC surface.
