Abstract

Microscratch responses of four different thermoplastics including polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyetheretherketone were investigated under constant normal load by Berkovich indenter with the focus on quantifying effects of sliding speed and normal load on scratch variables such as penetration depth, elastic recovery rate, contact scratch hardness, residual scratch hardness, lateral hardness, width of residual groove, and scratch friction coefficient. The results show that penetration depth is more sensitive to sliding speed than lateral force, and power law functions are applicable to describe dependences of scratch variables on sliding speed and normal load. Correlations between scratch variables and mechanical properties such as yield strength and Meyer hardness are also discussed, and contact scratch hardness is linearly correlated with yield strength, Meyer hardness, and elastic recovery rate.
