Frictional wear is caused by continuous material loss on the surface of a solid body as a result of movement and friction. In so-called tribological systems - i.e. in applications with sliding, rolling or beating contacts - the material used is decisive for the service life and dimensional accuracy of the components.
Polymers and metals are significantly less hard than technical ceramics. They are therefore much more susceptible to wear - especially under continuous load or in environments with abrasive particles. The result: dimensional deviations, functional restrictions and increased maintenance costs.
High-performance ceramics from DOCERAM offer superior hardness and wear resistance. They retain their shape even under high contact forces and frictional stress, making them the ideal solution for friction-intensive applications.
Advantages of ceramic materials in the fight against friction wear:
Extremely high surface hardness
Excellent dimensional stability over long usage cycles
Reduced material loss despite intensive mechanical stress
Less maintenance and longer service life
Ideal solution for guides, bearings, sliding surfaces, pistons, valve seats or test contacts
With wear-resistant materials from MEGATRON AG, processes can be stabilized, component precision maintained and frictional wear significantly reduced - for long-term economical and reliable production.
