Effects of Grain Size and Humidity on Fretting Wear in Fine‐Grained Alumina, Al 2 O 3 /TiC, and Zirconia
This tribology study examined how grain size and humidity affect wear in ceramic materials (alumina and zirconia) under fretting conditions, finding that smaller grain sizes reduce wear through microplastic deformation of grain boundaries. This is a ceramics engineering study where 'microplastic deformation' refers to sub-yield material behavior, not environmental plastic particles.
