TY - CONF A1 - Harsha, A. P. A1 - Wäsche, Rolf T1 - Tribological studies on polyetherimide composites sliding against steel under reciprocating conditions T2 - PolyTrib 2016 N2 - The friction and wear properties of polyetherimide composites under dry oscillating sliding condition at room temperature (RT) as well as at elevated temperature (120 °C) was investigated. The polymer specimens were made to oscillate against steel cylinder as a counterpart. The friction and wear properties of PEI and composites were strongly influenced by the temperature. In case of carbon fiber composite abrasive action of carbon fibers has severely damaged the counterpart and resulted in accelerated wear of the composite at RT. Solid lubricants filled (PTFE, MoS2, graphite) along with glass fiber is beneficial in improving the friction and wear performance of the PEI composite at RT, whereas at elevated temperature wear performance was deteriorated.
