Abstract As an essential renewable mineral resource, mollusk shells can be used as handicrafts, building materials, adsorbents, etc. However, there are few reports on the wear resistance of their structures. The Vicker’s hardness and friction, and wear resistance of different microstructures in mollusk shells were comparatively studied in the present work. The hardness of prismatic structures is lower than that of cross-lamellar and nacreous structures. However, the experimental results of sliding tests indicate that the prismatic structure exhibits the best anti-wear ability compared with foliated, crossed-lamellar, and nacreous structures. The anti-wear and hardness do not present a positive correlation, as the… More >
