AbstractEffective lubrication systems are crucial to the successful application of ceramic materials in many advanced technologies. A review is given here of the tribochemistry of ceramic lubrication, including the effects of water, water‐based lubricants, hydrocarbons, additives and solid lubricants, on the friction and wear properties of ceramics, the tribochemical mechanisms of ceramics with lubricants and the wear mechanisms of ceramics. Finally, some suggestions about further study of ceramic lubrication are offered.
