MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND STATIC FRICTION COEFFICIENTS OF THE METAL-POLYMER COMPOSITE INTENDED FOR THE REGENERATION OF GUIDING SYSTEMS OF CUTTING TOOLS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2013, Vol 249, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents the results of strength tests and the static friction coefficient of chemical cross-linking, metal-polymer composites intended for the regeneration of guiding systems of cutting tools. A group of composites with various quantities and qualitative contents was investigated. The iron powder obtained by chemical reduction was the main filler of the composites. The friction modifiers used were mainly anisotropic solid lubricants (graphite and molybdenum disulphide), in various ratios, as well as thermosetting polymers, tarflen (obtained by means of suspension method). The composites were cross-linked by means of aliphatic polyamine (triethylenetetramine). The mechanical properties of the composites (compression strength and peeling) were tested by means of a Instron Tensile Machine. The static friction coefficient in dry conditions was measured by means of a special test rig with a tribosystem adapted for dry friction investigation under reciprocation motion, typical for guiding systems of cutting tools. The measurements were performed under various unit pressures (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 MPa). On the basis of obtained test results, it was concluded that mechanical and tribological properties depend on type and mass ratio of used tribological modifiers. The most beneficial results were obtained for the composites containing mixed solid lubricants.
