Abstract

Due to its resistant to thermal shock and strength at elevated temperature, Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum (TZM) alloy is used for hot-work tooling up to 1500 °C. The friction and wear behaviour of the TZM alloy reciprocating against Al₂O₃ and Si₃N₄ in different conditions were investigated. It has an adhesion and/or oxidation character with a high coefficient of friction when dry sliding against an alumina ceramic ball. It is characterised with reduced wear in an abrasion mode when reciprocally sliding against a Si₃N₄ ceramic ball. In addition, the friction and wear between TZM and an Al₂O₃ball under unidirectional sliding conditions can be reduced when lubricating molybdenum oxides was formed at higher temperature i.e. 600 °C. Finally, the friction and wear mechanisms involved are discussed.
