Evaluation of the Performance of Antifriction PTFE Composites at a Pressure Over 60 MPA. I. Comparison of Their Hardness and Deformation Properties Under Free and Constrained Compression

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The mechanical characteristics of a number of antifriction polymer materials at room temperature were studied to analyze their operability in the bearings of support parts with a ball segment. According to the unified technology of dry mixing, pressing and free sintering, six tablets-samples were prepared for each of the 19 types of compositions of fluoroplast powders and various fillers with a dispersion from units to tens of micrometers (coke, bronze, carbon fiber, colloidal and thermally expanded graphite, molybdenum disulfide and their combinations). For all materials, the Brinell hardness, the proportions of strains with different rheology in the total deformation, Young’s modulus, and stresses in free compression corresponding to the strains of 1, 5, and 10%, stiffness in constrained compression, corresponding to stresses of 50, 100, and 150 MPa, and their dependence on the presence of a hole (empty or filled with grease) were determined. All tests were performed according to a multistage program with loading and unloading cycles, relaxation, and rest periods. The data obtained, together with tribological characteristics (will be published in the second part), can serve as the basis for the selection of antifriction materials, their composition, and manufacturing technologies for bridge support units.
