Ptfe Composites

A kind of novel polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based composite filled with nano SiO2 are developed for sliding tribological applications. The specimens are fabricated with the compression moulding technique. And the mechanical and tribological properties of the composites are investigated. It is demonstrated that these properties are influenced by the content of fillers. The wear resistances of all the developed PTFE composites are much higher than that of pure PTFE with very low coefficients of friction. Among the developed composites, the mixture of PTFE + 30% nano SiO2 exhibits the best combination of properties. The improved tribological performance of nano-SiO2 filled PTFE composites can be attributed to the improved structural integrity of the composites.

The POB/PTFE composites were prepared by blending-cold pressing-sintering-hot pressing method. Influence of POB content on mechanical and tribological properties of the composites was investigated. Worn surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that ball indentation hardness and compressive strength of POB/PTFE increase with increasing POB content in composites. Tensile strength, elongation and impact strength of POB/PTFE decrease with increasing POB content in composites. Friction coefficient of composites increases compared to PTFE. Wear resistance of POB/PTFE composites was improved with filling POB. The POB/PTFE composite incorporating 20% POB has best comprehensive mechanical properties. Wear mechanism of PTFE are abrasive wear. Wear mechanism of POB/PTFE composites mainly are fatigue wear and flaking.

Potential Applications

High-performance anti-wear polyetheretherketone/polytetrafluoroethylene (PEEK/PTFE) blends have drawn much attention over the past few years, owing to their wide range of potential applications. However, a convenient and effective method to prepare such blends with superior mechanical and tribological properties is still lacking. In this work, we propose a promising approach that uses melt-processable PTFE (MP PTFE), instead of conventional PTFE, to prepare anti-wear blends. MP PTFE, with melt flow abilities under appropriate conditions, can disperse homogeneously in PEEK, enhancing both the mechanical and tribological properties of the PEEK/PTFE blend. To prove this postulation, in this work, both MP PTFE and commercial PTFE were blended with PEEK, separately, and the effects of PTFE type and content on the tensile and tribological properties of the blends were studied. The results showed that, although the addition of commercial PTFE to PEEK could increase the wear resistance, it decreased the tensile strength of PEEK significantly. Compared to the blends with commercial PTFE, the blends with MP PTFE exhibited better tribological performance and higher tensile strength for PTFE content below 10 wt%. It was confirmed that the better dispersion of MP PTFE in PEEK endowed the blends with higher tensile strength. The surface analysis indicated that the MP PTFE could readily migrate to and enrich the surfaces of the blends. The relatively high PTFE content on the surface favored the formation of tribo-films, enhancing the tribological properties of the blends.

Spraying Method

In order to improve the tribological performance of the physical vapor-deposited AlCrN coatings, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings were fabricated on the AlCrN coatings surface through the thermal spraying method. The microstructure, adhesive strength, hardness, and tribological properties were investigated. Reciprocating sliding tests against SiC ball were executed with a ball-on-plate tribometer. Results showed that the adhesive strength between the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings and substrate was increased by about 15% compared with single AlCrN coatings. Compared with the single MoS2/PTFE coatings, the hardness of the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings surface was increased by about 15%. The MoS2/PTFE layer can availably reduce the friction coefficient of single AlCrN layer, and the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings exhibited the lowest and the most stable friction coefficient. In addition, the MoS2/PTFE layer existed on the wear track and accumulated on both the sides, which was the main reason that the friction coefficient was still lower compared with the samples without MoS2/PTFE coatings.

The paper presents the microstructure and mechanical and tribological properties of polymer composites based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) intended for use in friction couples where reciprocating motion is performed, e.g., in compressors or actuators. Micromechanical tests carried out using the Oliver-Pharr method showed that the PTFE composite with a 40% bronze content (T8B) had the most advantageous mechanical properties (hardness H, Young’s modulus E). In turn, tribological tests that were conducted using a ballon- disc tester in the linear (reciprocating) motion showed that the polytetrafluoroethylene composite with a mixture of 25% bronze powder and 15% graphite (T4GM) had the lowest tribological wear. The tribological properties of composite T5W with 25% graphite content were not much worse. Despite the most favourable mechanical parameters, the tribological wear of composites T8B and PTFE with glassy carbon (T3Ws) was nearly twice higher due to the absence of grease formed by a graphite filling. The results show that the use of composites containing a bronze-graphite filling improves the service life of lubricant-free friction couples that perform reciprocating motion.
