Reciprocating sliding wear behavior of plastics against steel
플라스틱재료의 왕복동마찰마멸거동
Abstract
Friction and wear test was performed for nylon, acetal resin, and PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) under reciprocating dry sliding conditions against a steel counterpart. Friction coefficient and specific wear rate were analysed as a function of sliding distance and applied load. The worn surfaces of plate and disc specimens were observed using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy). The experimental results show that acetal resin exhibited lowest wear rates whereas PTFE possessed lowest friction coefficient. The prominent wear mechanisms found were adhesion and abrasion.
