Abstract

Boron carbide (B₄C) is well known for its high hardness and wear resistance. It has been found to polish its mating surface, thereby providing fatigue resistance to the coated part. Employing such run-in coatings demands a thorough understanding of the abrasiveness changes that the coatings undergo during the polishing process. Both the coating asperity height and angle of attack were investigated as a function of sliding distance and were correlated with changes in the coating abrasiveness. Furthermore, a semi-empirical equation relating the coating abrasiveness, the asperity height and the asperity angle of attack was presented.
