By means of environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), an in situ observation technique was developed to observe the agglomeration process of wear particles of silicon nitride, silicon carbide and alumina and to study the effect of water vapor on the agglomeration of wear particles. The results show that the size of the deposit of wear particles becomes smaller with increasing water vapor pressure. Among the three ceramics, alumina shows the largest size of the deposit of wear particles, with silicon nitride next silicon carbide the smallest. Furthermore, friction coefficient increases linearly as wear particles agglomerate. The normalized diameter of the deposit, which is used to quantitatively estimate the agglomeration degree of wear particles, is considered to be related to following parameters: (1) adhesive energy— higher adhesive energy leads to a larger diameter of the deposit of wear particles; (2) electric conductivity—lower electric conductivity leads to larger triboelectrification which produces electrostatic force and results in a larger diameter of the deposit of wear particles.
