Abstract: C/C-SiC composites were prepared by liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) process. The tribological properties were investigated using MMW-1A and MM-1000 test machine, respectively. Under experimental conditions, the rotation speed had limited impact on the tribological properties of C/C-SiC composites when the pressure was 0.48 MPa. The pressure had approximately the same effect on the wear rate when the rotation speed was 0.3 m/s. The wear mechanism was mainly abrasive grain wear. While under real brake conditions, the coefficient of friction (COF) of C/C-SiC composites reached 0.50 and the wear rate was up to 5.95 mg/times. The COF curves showed the typical saddle shapes brake curves. Abrasive grain wear mechanism and adhere wear mechanism appeared in the early and last stages in real brake conditions.
