Ceramic triboelements are increasingly being used to solve tribological         problems under severe service conditions. The performance varies                significantly, depending strongly on operating conditions and on                material, and is currently not clearly predictable from first                   principles.  This study will attempt to remedy this problem and develop         a quantitative relationship between wear behavior, operating                    conditions, and material properties and microstructure. The wear                mechanisms and wear performance of a number of ceramic materials under          dry sliding conditions will be determined by wear measurements and              high-resolution microscopy of the worn surface and the subsurface               material. The wear behavior will be correlated with commonly measured           micro-mechanical properties, such as micro-hardness and indentation             fracture toughness, and with microstructure.
