  4. 2. TRIBOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS OF A PTFE/ALPHA ALUMINA COMPOSITE AT THE SLIDING INTERFACE: A MECHANISM FOR ULTRA LOW WEAR

    Author : Kathryn L Harris; USA University of Florida; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The wear and friction behavior of ultralow wear polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/αalumina composites first described by Burris and Sawyer in 2006 has been studied intensively in the years hence. The mechanisms responsible for the remarkable improvement in wear over unfilled PTFE are not yet fully understood. READ MORE
