Abstract

Pin-on-disc wear tests using ceramic and metal pins running against diamond composite discs were conducted in air at room temperature. Pin wear rate and the coefficient of friction were measured. The pin wear rate did not consistently increase with decreasing hardness, and the lowest wear rate was obtained with a cemented tungsten carbide pin.
