Abstract
Production of thermally expanded graphite composites reinforced with knitted copper net is developed and their tribological properties are determined. Wear resistance under reciprocating and rotary movement can be improved by the reinforcement. Reinforced thermally expanded graphite seals may be a substitute for asbestos-containing materials.
