Wear mechanisms of polytetrafluoroethylene and its composites

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown analytically that the empirical wear law takes account of two fundamentally different wear mechanisms. Whether adhesive or fatigue wear predominates will depend on the selection of the frictional power. Comparison of the coefficients in the empirical law demonstrates the role of the filler in reducing the wear rate of composites.
