Advanced structural ceramics are presently used in several tribological applications, such as precision instrument bearings, automotive engine parts and cutting tools inserts. Design and selection of advanced ceramics for these applications require reliable data on the effects of temperature, load and environment on the tribological behaviour of these materials. In our present work, Tribological studies of SiAlON were carried out using reciprocating friction monitor machine. Different experiments were performed at high temperature by changing sliding distance, load time duration and point of contact. Different configurations were adopted by running ceramic pin on SiAlON disc and a ceramic ball on SiAlON disc. Dense micro sized SiAlON samples were fabricated by using different sintering additives to study the influence on friction and wear properties. Sliding wear test were conducted on these graded ceramic composites using Pin-On disc and Ball-On disc method.
