Abstract
The goal of this project is to determine the promise of a new family of self lubricated materials, and to define problem areas for further research. Specifically it is to obtain an understanding of the friction and wear behavior of a promising form of vitreous or glassy carbon in monolithic and reinforced bodies, when run against a representative group of metals and ceramics. This effort serves to evaluate the potential of glassy carbon materials for use in friction and wear applications, through conducting a series of pin-on-disk sliding tests on these materials, and on metals and ceramics which are candidates for similar applications. 13 refs., 5 figs., 9 tabs.
