Abstract
The wear of silicon nitride ceramics is reduced by titanium implantati on albeit the friction coefficient is slightly increased, X-ray excite d photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that silicon oxide is formed in the wear track while possible lubricating titanium oxides are not fou nd. Therefore we attribute the observed wear reduction to the amorphiz ation of the surface as proved by transmission electron microscopy. (C ) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
