Abstract
Ceramic head pad materials which exhibit superior toughness and lubricating material characteristics over known materials, particularly in the areas of toughness resilience, damping, solid lubricity, reduced brittleness and chipping (without a change in bulk hardness), and improved thermal expansion, result from optimizing the amount of strontium oxide (SrO) and included in a calcium titanate ceramic. In particular, a ceramic material with approximately 5% to 7% SrO in a calcium titanate matrix (with approximately 6% SrO being the optimal concentration), may be utilized to realize the aforestated improved toughness and lubricating characteristics.
