TY - CONF A1 - Gradt, Thomas A1 - Theiler, Géraldine T1 - Tribological properties of polymer composites for applications in LNG environment N2 - In a first test series, the friction and wear properties of 6 polymeric candidate materials for application in LNG tribosystems were tested. The most favorable properties showed PTFE composite, filled with carbon fibers and PEEK, which showed low and stable friction and a wear coefficient in the order of 10-7 mm3N-1m-1. PTFE containing PEEK composites seem to be also appropriate for LNG applications. Admixtures of graphite as solid lubricant result in lower wear. Contrary, a lubricating mechanism of MoS2 was not observed. The PI-materials showed comparatively high friction and medium wear.

T1 - Tribology in hot steam for energy recovery N2 - The wear rates of self-mated alumina couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above-mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. The presence of water and its amount available in the surrounding system either in liquid or in gaseous form plays a key role for friction and wear behavior and can be beneficial for the tribological profile of steam degradation resistant materials. Hot steam enhances the tribo-chemical formations of oxides and hydroxides on MgO-ZrO2 alumina and antimony impregnated carbon.
