INFLUENCE OF SURFACE LASER TEXTURING ON FRICTION AND WEAR OF PTFE DURING SLIDING AGAINST STEEL
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 281, Issue 5
Abstract
The paper presents research and analysis of PTFE wear during cooperation with steel. The surface of steel elements was subjected to laser texture. Three different patterns of texture were applied to the surface of steel elements. For comparative purposes, an element without a structure was also tested. The experiment was carried out in a roller-plate test on the author’s research stand. As part of the conducted tests, the linear wear of PTFE plates was determined, and the values of the kinetic and static friction coefficients of the tested friction pairs were determined. Steel friction surfaces were also subjected to SEM microscopic observation. The obtained results showed an apparent effect of laser texture on changes in friction and wear of PTFE. This influence is different and depends on the pattern of the texture.<br/><br/>
