%X In this
paper, the sliding contact fatigue wear performance of shot-peened zirconia-silicon
carbide composite (ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC) plates in contact with silicon nitride
balls under compressive residual stress in dry conditions was investigated in
order to improve the wear resistance of ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC friction parts. The
wear resistance of ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC plates after shot peening was higher
than that of plates not treated with shot peening in sliding wear testing under
Hertziancontact. Due to fine Zirconia particle shot peening, the tetragonal phase
crystal structure in ZrO<sub>2</sub> in the near-surface of ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC
plates was changed, and 1100 MPa compressive residual stress could be
introduced into the near-surface
layer of ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC plates. The compressive residual stress was
determined to be the main factor in the improvement of the sliding wear
resistance of ZrO<sub>2</sub>/SiC plates.
