Recent studies at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have shown that ion implantation of polymers can significantly improve wear properties, sometimes dramatically. In several cases, the @'best-wear resistance@' condition for a specific counterface material was associated with the lowest friction coefficient values. To explore the friction behavior of ion implanted polymers further, microfriction...
The increased pitting wear of PEEK rolls applied as bearing elements in drawer guide rails was investigated. Similar to findings for PEEK gear wheels the increased pitting occurred only in the presence of lubricants. Simple assumptions found in literature to explain this effect for PEEK gear wheels could be disproved within this research. Moreover, high irreversible deformations during the rolling...
