The sintered nanocomposites demonstrate quite high mechanical properties (HV ≈ 14-16 GPa, KIc≈ 4.8 MPa ∙ m1/2) and low dry friction coefficient (f ≈ 0.65-0.68) and mass wear (~0.2-0.4 mg/km) against ShKh15 steel. The nanocomposite strengthened with 3.8 wt.% silicon nitride nanofibers shows the most balanced mechanical and tribotechnical characteristics.enfrictionnanocompositesilicon nitridespark plasma sinteringtitanium nitridewear resistance620666journal article
