A novel set of Al2O3-B2O3-CaO composites were manufactured using a cold press-sintering. The B2O3 content in the was varied from 5 to 20 wt% and 2 CaO added composites. Dry sliding tests conducted against an alumina ball at 10–95% relative humidity. presence in-situ formed aluminum borate composite enhanced micro-hardness wear resistance, whereas humidity-sensitive phase reduced friction. Furth...
