GS20 Effects of shot-peening on friction and wear property of Si_3N_4/SiC composite
Details
The wear performance between Si_3N_4/ SiC composite plate and Si_3N_4 ball under dry conditions was investigated. The wear depth of Si_3N_4/SiC with shot-peening was shallower than that of Si_3N_4/ SiC without shot-peening in the sliding wear test under low Hertzian contact pressure. This result is achieved by the compressive residual stress which is introduced by shot-peening and this result indicate that shot-peening is effective method to make use of ceramics as a slide member.
