Effects of various kinds of fillers on the tribological behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene composites under dry and oil‐lubricated conditions

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)‐based composites filled with various inorganic fillers in a volume fraction of 30% were prepared. The tribological behavior of the PTFE composites sliding against AISI52100 steel under dry and liquid paraffin‐lubricated conditions was investigated on an MHK‐500 model ring‐on‐block test rig. The morphologies of worn surfaces and wear debris were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an optical microscope. As the results, different fillers show different effects on the tribological behavior of the PTFE composites, while the composite shows much different tribological behavior under lubricated conditions as compared with dry sliding. The tribological behavior of the PTFE composites under dry sliding is greatly related to the uniformity and thickness of the transfer films. Only the PTFE composites with a transfer film of good uniformity and proper thickness may have excellent tribological behavior. The PTFE composites show much better tribological behavior under lubrication of liquid paraffin than under dry sliding, namely, the friction coefficients are decreased by 1 order of magnitude and the wear rate by 1–3 orders of magnitude. Observation of the worn composite surfaces with SEM indicates that fatigue cracks were generated under lubrication of liquid paraffin, owing to the absorption and osmosis of liquid paraffin into the microdefects of the PTFE composites. The creation and development of the fatigue cracks led to fatigue wear of the PTFE composites. This would reduce the mechanical strength and load‐supporting capacity of the PTFE composites. Therefore, the tribological behavior of the PTFE composites under lubrication of liquid paraffin is greatly dependent on the compatibility between the PTFE matrix and the inorganic fillers. In other words, the better is the compatibility between PTFE and fillers the better is the tribological behavior of the composites. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A study on the tribological behavior of hybrid PTFE/Kevlar fabric composites filled with nano‐SiC and/or submicron‐WS2 fillers

The tribological behaviors of hybrid PTFE/Kevlar fabric composites filled with nano‐SiC and/or submicron‐WS₂ fillers were studied. Scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometer were used for analysis of the worn surface, transfer film, and debris of the PTFE/Kevlar fabric composites. In addition, the wear volume loss of the composite was measured by means of a laser microscopic 3D and profile measurement apparatus. The results indicate that although both single fillers and hybrid fillers can reduce the wear rate of composites, but hybrid fillers filled composites could achieve the desired comprehensive tribological properties in dry sliding. The improved tribological performance of filled composites can be attributed to two aspects: the formation of a thin and tenacious transfer film on the counter‐surface, and the restrain the formation of larger debris. Tiny wear debris was easily trapped in the gap of a worn surface and can repair the damaged surface. In addition, the trapped debris could be considered as a secondary source of lubricant. POLYM.

Influence of solid lubricant reinforcement on wear behavior of Kevlar fabric composites

The friction and wear behavior of Kevlar fabric composites reinforced by PTFE or graphite powders was investigated using a Xuanwu‐III friction and wear tester at dry sliding condition, with the unfilled Kevlar fabric composite as a reference. The worn surfaces were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that PTFE or graphite as fillers could significantly improve the tribological behavior of the Kevlar fabric composites, and the Kevlar fabric composites filled with 20% PTFE exhibited the best antiwear and antifriction ability among all evaluated cases. The transfer films established with two lubricants in sliding wear of composites against metallic counterparts made contributions to reducing friction coefficient and wear rate of Kevlar fabric composites. In particular, FeF₂ generated in the sliding of Kevlar fabric composites filled with PTFE against counterpart pin improved the bonding strength between the transfer film and counterpart surface, which accounted for the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate of the Kevlar fabric composites filled with PTFE measured in the testing. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact of fillers and counterface topography on wear behavior of PTFE polymers for ultrasonic motor

Aimed to study the effects of reinforcing or functional fillers on mechanical and tribological properties of PTFE‐based friction materials of ultrasonic motor, carbon fibers reinforced PTFE composites modified with different functional fillers with differences in dimension, size, and hardness are fabricated. The tribological performances of PTFE‐based friction materials are comparatively investigated under different sliding velocities and normal loads on different surface morphologies, respectively. The experimental results reveal that nano‐SiO₂ shows excellent performance in improving friction stabilities and wear resistance in different operating conditions. It is believed the silica‐based tribofilms, higher deformation resistance, and bearing capacity play a key role in improving friction stabilities. Furthermore, the results also show that the surface topography plays an important role in wear properties. The lower wear rate (sliding against with the disordered surface) is believed to be attributed to wear debris easy‐store characteristic of the topography, which promotes transfer films formation and decreases the wear rate effectively. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enhanced thermal conductivity and wear resistance of polytetrafluoroethylene composites through boron nitride and zinc oxide hybrid fillers

In this study, the thermal conductivity and wear resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/boron nitride (BN), PTFE/zinc oxide (ZnO), PTFE/tetra‐needle‐shaped zinc oxide whiskers (T‐ZnO), and PTFE/hybrid filler composites were investigated. Moreover, hot‐press molding was used to prepare the composites, and scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the fillers and the friction interface of the composites. The results show that continuous thermally conductive paths could be formed in the PTFE/hybrid fillers (T‐ZnO and BN) composites so that the thermal conductivity of the PTFE was improved through addition of the hybrid fillers. Meanwhile, the synergistic effects of the hybrid fillers were useful for reducing the wear rate of the composites. In addition, for the pure PTFE, abrasive and adhesive wear was found. Compared to the worn surface of the pure PTFE, the worn surface of the PTFE composites filled with ZnO, T‐ZnO, BN, and hybrid fillers presented much smoother surfaces, and slighter ploughing occurred. Therefore, the hybrid fillers improved not only the thermal conductivity but also the wear resistance of the PTFE composites. The data obtained in this study contributed to the construction of a technical foundation for the preparation of composites with a high thermal conductivity and wear resistance. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of nano fillers on the properties of polytetrafluoroethylene composites: Experimental and theoretical simulations

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent corrosion resistance and a low coefficient of friction; however, its high wear rate and low hardness severely limit its use. In the work, nano particles were used as fillers for PTFE. The composites were prepared by the homogeneous mixing of PTFE and other fillers and sintered at high temperatures. The work aimed to investigate the effect of various nano fillers (nanocarbon powders, graphene, fullerene, nano graphite powders, and nano copper powders) on the mechanical, thermal, and frictional properties of composites. The results of the experiments showed that the addition of graphene could improve the stress and strain values of the composites, and all the nano fillers could improve the thermal conductivity of the PTFE composites. The friction experiments showed that fullerenes could significantly improve the wear resistance of PTFE composites. In the theoretical simulation, the thermal conductivity of PTFE composites was predicted using ANSYS software, with the changes in the temperature and friction force in the friction process. The theoretical simulation results matched with the experimental values, which proved the accuracy of the theoretical simulations.     

Comparative study on the tribological properties of poly(arylene ether nitrile)/polytetrafluoroethylene composites: The influence of filler size and testing conditions

In this work, the influence of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filler size and testing conditions (i.e., air, water, and lubricating oil) on the tribological properties of poly(arylene ether nitrile) (PEN) was systematically investigated. The results showed that the addition of PTFE was beneficial to improve the tribological properties of PEN-based composites which was related to the easier formation of transfer film on the surface of friction pair. Samples which were tested in water demonstrated a relatively higher friction coefficient (μ) and wear loss when compared with those tested in dry air and lubricating oil scenarios, which was attributed to the fact that friction induced heat and wear debris could be timely removed by water. In addition, the infiltration of water further reduced the interaction between PTFE filler and PEN, which aggravated the wear loss of sample blocks. When tested in lubricating oil, pure PEN showed the lowest wear loss when compared with that of PEN/PTFE composites. At a given content (20 wt%) of PTFE fillers, PEN/PTFE_1.5μm exhibited the lowest μ in lubricating oil whereas PEN/PTFE_5μm demonstrated the lowest specific wear loss in air condition (1.18 × 10⁻⁶ mm³/N·m). This work provided some useful information for the design and application of PTFE-containing polymer composites that can be targeted in different lubrication scenarios in industrial fields.
