... (500–2500 m) on the wear rate of mica reinforced metal matrix composites. The microwave-assisted powder metallurgy technique was used to fabricate the composites. The wear tests were performed according to statistical designs to develop an empirical predictive regression model. The interaction...

...P. M. McGuiggan; S. M. Hsu; W. Fong; D. Bogy; C. S. Bhatia The friction force as a function of humidity was measured between thin carbon films coated onto mica surfaces. The friction force was found to be proportional to the area of contact. The shear stress at 0 percent, 33 percent, and 100...
