Popis: The present work investigates, for the first time, the dry sliding friction and wear behaviour of fully dense, predominantly single-phase MoAlB ceramics against alumina (Al2O3) and 100Cr6 steel counterparts. Against Al2O3, the friction coefficient (μ) increased with increasing load and the wear was highly dependent on the load applied. A transition from mild wear under 1 N and 4 N to severe wear at 10 N occurred. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that abrasion is the dominant wear mechanism. Against steel, μ decreased with increasing load and the wear rates were low, under all applied loads. The morphologies of the worn surfaces against steel were characterized by the appearance of a rippled layers. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to propose a possible formation mechanism of such patterns. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the rippled surfaces to be composed of Fe2O3 and a mixture of MoOx.
