Abstract

The paper presents results on the usage of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene for manufacture of antifrictional materials on a steel substrate. Hot molding regimes are determined for the production of polymeric components. The optimum degree of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene filling with graphite is determined (about 50 mass %) for the purpose of achieving perfect triboengineering parameters of sheet antifrictional materials during operation against a steel counterbody under boundary lubrication by water.
