Abstract:
The tribology behavior and deformation of slide bearing made from polymer material (PA 6-17% PTFE) were studied. The samples and the mechanical testing of the materials were selected according to ASTM standard. In the studied areas of selected loads and velocities, with oil, grease, water lubrication, the minimum value of the friction coefficient of the pair of polyamid composite (PA 6-15% PTFE)-45 steel with SAE-100W Castrol oil lubrication and L-2 grease lubrication: fmin-oil = 0.017 at P = 113 N and V = 1.245 m/sec, fmin-grease = 0.030 at P = 116 N and V = 0.422 m/sec. The utilization of oil lubrication gave the smallest wear intensity. This is an abstract presented at the World Tribology Congress III (Washington, DC 9/12-16/2005).
