TY - THES A1 - Theiler, Géraldine T1 - PTFE- and PEEK-Matrix Composites for Tribological Applications at Cryogenic Temperatures and in Hydrogen N2 - Many new technologies are based on applications in extreme conditions, such as at low temperatures or in hydrogen environment. This involves new requirements on material properties, in particular regarding their operability and reliability. To fulfil this demand, the tribological behaviour of PTFE- and PEEK-matrix composites filled with carbon fibres were investigated at cryogenic temperatures and in hydrogen by means of surface analyses. For a better understanding of the tribological behaviour, and because of the temperature-dependent characteristics of polymer materials, thermal and mechanical properties of selected composites were initially investigated at low temperatures. Thermal shock experiments as well as cryo- and hydrogen treatments were carried out. Different coefficients of thermal expansion within the composite lead to debondings of particles, particularly in the case of PTFE materials. Tensile tests indicate that the YOUNG'S modulus increases at T= 77 K compared to room temperature. However, this improvement at low temperatures is moderate for PEEK composite which is already under its glass transition at room temperature. In the main investigation, tribological experiments were carried out at first at T= 77 K to observe the influence of the matrix, fillers and fibres on the material behaviour comparing to room temperature. The reduction of the friction coefficient and wear at low temperatures has been attributed to the low temperature properties of the polymer in particular due to the higher YOUNG'S modulus at T= 77 K. Whereas at room temperature friction and wear depend strongly of the CF content, the quantity of fillers and fibres does not have a significant effect on the tribological behaviour at low temperatures. At T= 77 K, the tribological behaviour of PTFE and PEEK composites is mainly influenced by the matrix. PEEK composites have a better tribological performance than PTFE materials especially regarding the wear resistance. Furthermore, the influence of the cryogenic medium was determined with experiments carried out in LN2 (T= 77 K), LH2 (T= 20 K) and LHe (T= 4.2 K), as well as in helium at T= 77 K and hydrogen at room temperature. The thermal properties of the cryogenic medium have a significant influence on the tribological performances of the composites. Due to the lower frictional heat at low sliding speed, the effect of low temperatures on the tribological behaviour of these composites was more clearly detected in this case, with a change in wear mechanism from mainly adhesive to more abrasive. Experiments in LN2 give the best friction and wear performance at low as well as at high sliding speed. The behaviour of these composites in LHe does not benefit from the low temperature properties of polymers due to the low heat of evaporation of LHe. The influence of hydrogen was particularly seen after the tribological experiments performed in LH2 on the surface of the disc. The reduction effect of hydrogen may have an influence on the tribochemical reactions which appear during sliding, enhancing the formation of iron fluorides, but no influence of the metal fluorides on the tribological performance could be determined in this study. N2 - Viele neue Technologien nutzen Anwendungen bei extremen Bedingungen, wie etwa bei tiefen Temperaturen oder in Wasserstoffumgebung. Dies stellt neue Forderungen an die Werkstoffe, insbesondere an ihre Funktionsfähigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Um dem gerecht zu werden, wurde das tribologische Verhalten von kohlefaserverstärkten PTFE- und PEEKVerbundwerkstoffen bei tiefen Temperaturen und in Wasserstoff mit Hilfe von Oberflächenanalysen untersucht. Für ein besseres Verständnis des tribologischen Verhaltens und wegen der temperaturabhängigen Eigenschaften der Polymere wurden zuerst thermische und mechanische Untersuchungen bei tiefen Temperaturen durchgeführt. Temperatur-Wechselbeanspruchungen sowie Kryo- und Wasserstoffbehandlungen wurden durchgeführt. Unterschiedliche Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten innerhalb der Materialien verursachen Trennungen von Partikeln besonders bei PTFE-Verbundwerkstoffen. Experimente zur Bestimmung der Zugfestigkeit zeigen an, dass der E-Modul bei T = 77 K im Vergleich zur Raumtemperatur zunimmt. Diese Verbesserung ist jedoch für PEEKMaterial nicht sehr ausgeprägt, da es sich bei Raumtemperatur bereits unter seinem Glasübergang befindet. In der Hauptuntersuchung wurden tribologische Experimente zuerst bei T = 77 K durchgeführt, um den Einfluss der Matrix, der Füllstoffe und der Fasern auf das Materialverhalten im Vergleich zur Raumtemperatur zu beobachten. Der Reibwert- und die Verschleißabnahme bei T = 77 K ist mit den Tieftemperatur-Eigenschaften der Polymer-Materialien zu erklären, insbesondere wegen des höheren E-Moduls bei T = 77 K. Während Reibung und Verschleiß bei Raumtemperatur stark von dem CF-Gehalt abhängig sind, hat die Menge der Füllstoffe und der Fasern wenigen Effekt auf das tribologische Verhalten bei tiefen Temperaturen. Bei 77 K ist das tribologische Verhalten von PTFE und PEEK hauptsächlich durch die Matrix bestimmt. PEEK-Komposite haben ein besseres tribologisches Verhalten als PTFE, insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Verschleißwiderstand. Außerdem wurde der Einfluss des Kältemittels mit tribologischen Experimenten untersucht, die in LN2 (T = 77 K), LH2 (T = 20 K) und LHe (T = 4,2 K), sowie in Helium bei T = 77 K und Wasserstoff bei Raumtemperatur durchgeführt wurden. Die thermischen Eigenschaften des Kältemittels haben einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die tribologischen Eigenschaften. Wegen der niedrigeren Reibungswärme bei geringerer Gleitgeschwindigkeit wurde die Wirkung der Tieftemperaturen auf das tribologische Verhalten dieser Verbundwerkstoffe in diesem Fall besonders deutlich. Dabei ist der Wechsel des Verschleißmechanismus von vorwiegend adhäsiv zu vorwiegend abrasiv zu beobachten. Ergebnisse in LN2 zeigen die niedrigsten Reibungszahlen und Verschleißwerte, sowohl bei niedriger als auch bei hoher Gleitgeschwindigkeit. Das Verhalten dieser Verbundwerkstoffe in LHe profitiert aufgrund dessen geringer Verdampfungswärme nicht von den Tieftemperatur-Eigenschaften der Polymere. Der Einfluss des Wasserstoffs wurde besonders bei den Oberflächenanalysen der Scheibe nach den tribologischen Experimenten in LH2 beobachtet. Die reduzierende Eigenschaft des Wasserstoffs könnte einen Einfluss auf die tribochemischen Reaktionen und darüber hinaus eine fördernde Wirkung auf die Bildung der Metallfluoride haben. Ein Einfluss dieser Metallfluoride auf das tribologische Verhalten konnte in dieser Arbeit nicht beobachtet werden.

It is demonstrated that the incorporation of a harder polymer component into PTFE (such as PEEK particles), a short fiber reinforcement (e.g. carbon fibers CF), and internal lubricants (e.g. PTFE particles), helps to reduce the friction and to improve the wear resistance over a very wide temperature range.

The booming hydrogen technology is a challenge for these materials, which are considered as seals and bearings in cryogenic pumps. In the present study, three types of thermoplastics, i.e., polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherimide (PEI) and polyamide 6,6 (PA6,6), and one epoxy were considered as matrix materials. Micron-sized fillers, i.e., short carbon fibres, graphite flakes, and PTFE powders, were incorporated into these polymers together with nano-sized TiO2 particles. Optimised compositions of each matrix were selected from our previous works at room temperature in order to be studied at very low temperature conditions. In particular, frictional tests were carried out with polymer composite pins against polished steel surfaces under constant load over a certain distance in liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen. Afterwards, worn surfaces were analysed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found out that the tribological properties in liquid hydrogen are dominated by the matrix materials, in particular thermoplastics perform generally slightly better than thermosetting resins.

Oscillating sliding friction was investigated with a pin-on-disc configuration in high vacuum (10-5 mbar) at room temperature, -40 °C, +100 °C and +160 °C. The contact pressure was 1 MPa and 7 MPa respectively , the maximum sliding velocity 0.1 m/s. Furthermore, tests in ultra high vacuum (10-9 mbar) were carried out with flat and spherical pins at 1 MPa and 60 MPa respectively. Among the tested materials MoS2 filled PEEK shows the best tribological performance in vacuum. Particularly, in the lower temperature range and at higher loads the friction behaviour is improved by MoS2 content.

Another driver represents new environmental standards and their increasing restrictions in the automotive industry leading to the question, if materials based concepts may substitute harmful EP/AW additives in lubricants. This paper presents the slip-rolling resistance of different DLC/THC coatings on steel substrates with a definite slip rate of 10%. Industrial DLC coatings of ta-C and a-C:H types from various manufacturers were deposited on steels SAE 52100 and AMS 5898 to compile the slip-rolling resistance under initial average Hertzian contact pressures between 1.5 GPa and 2 GPa. The tests were carried out on Amsler-type twin disc tribometer under the regime of mixed/boundary lubrication in unadditivated paraffinic oil (ISO VG 46) and a factory fill engine oil. The spherical steel sample was uncoated and the cylindrical coated with DLC. Some coatings achieved 10 million cycles without any damage under a maximal Hertzian contact pressure Pmax well over 2.25 GPa, thus exceeding FZG 12.

Thus, new material requirements are involved for these tribo-systems, in particular regarding operability and reliability. At BAM, several projects were conducted in the recent years, dealing with the tribological properties of friction couples at cryogenic temperature and in vacuum environment. This paper describes the vacuum and ultra high vacuum tribometers constructed at BAM and presents experiments carried out with polymer composites. The experiments presented were performed with PEEK, filled with solid lubricants, against 304 steel with a pin-on-disc configuration in oscillating sliding. Friction tests were carried out in vacuum in the temperature range between -40°C and +160°C and in ultra high vacuum at room temperature.

Oscillating sliding tests were performed in high vacuum environment in the temperature range between -40°C and +160°C. Results indicate that MoS2 filled PEEK show the best tribological performance in vacuum. Particularly, in the lower temperature range and at higher loads the friction behaviour is improved by the MoS2 content.

T1 - Benchmark of thin film coatings for lubricated slip-rolling contacts N2 - The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of high-performance coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents some recently developed DLC coatings (a-C:H and ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system (Zr(C,N)) in a benchmark test procedure under slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. Various coatings with different thickness, interlayer and substrates were evaluated for their slip-rolling resistance in different lubricants at ambient temperature and at 120 °C. Results indicate that some of these coating systems can withstand at least 10 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to Pmax = 3.500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions. Surface of the coatings and the counter bodies were analysed and compared with untreated substrates.

T1 - Friction and wear of PTFE composites at cryogenic temperatures N2 - This paper presents investigations on the tribological behaviour of PTFE composites against steel at cryogenic temperatures. The results showed that the friction coefficient decreases with temperature down to 77 K, but did not follow a linear evolution further down to extreme low temperatures. It can be stated that the cryogenic environment has a significant influence on the tribological performance of the polymer composites. The effect of low temperatures was more clearly detected at low sliding speed, where friction heat is reduced. A change in wear mechanism from adhesive to abrasive was observed in this case. SEM and AFM analyses showed that the PTFE matrix composites investigated under these experimental conditions have transferred material onto the disc down to very low temperatures. Chemical analyses indicate the presence of iron fluorides.

T1 - Reibeigenschaften von Polymerfolien in Flüssighelium N2 - Starke Magnetfelder, wie sie z.B. für die Magnetresonanztomografie (MRT) notwendig sind, werden durch supraleitende Spulen erzeugt, die mit Flüssighelium auf eine Temperatur von -269°C gekühlt werden. Die Reibungswärme, die z.B. bei kleinsten Bewegungen zwischen der Spule und deren Stützstruktur entsteht, kann bewirken, dass die kritische Temperatur des Supraleiters lokal überschritten wird und ein normalleitender Bereich entsteht. Aufgrund der bei Normalleitung entstehenden jouleschen Wärme kann sich dieser Bereich weiter erwärmen und schnell ausbreiten. Dieser Vorgang wird als Quench bezeichnet und führt zum schlagartigen Verdampfen des extrem teuren Kältemittels und zu Betriebsunterbrechungen von mehreren Tagen. Da diese Quenche durch Reibungswärme verursacht werden, ist es notwendig, das Reibverhalten der beteiligten Werkstoffe so zu optimieren, dass kein kritischer Betriebszustand erreicht wird. Dies betrifft in erster Linie Polymerfolien, die zur elektrischen Isolierung zwischen der Spule und der Stützstruktur notwendig sind. Neben zu hoher Reibung allgemein müssen ausgeprägte Haftreibungsspitzen und StickSlip-Effekte vermieden werden. Mit diesem Ziel wurde das Reibverhalten von PTFE-, PET- und Pl-Folien bei tiefen Temperaturen und den für diese Anwendung typischen niedrigen Gleitgeschwindigkeiten untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass die Reibung zwischen Polymeroberflächen in Flüssighelium allgemein höher, aber stabiler als in Flüssigstickstoff ist. Allerdings hängt das Reibverhalten erheblich von der Werkstoffpaarung ab. Der Stick-Slip-Effekt nimmt bei allen untersuchten Polymer-Polymer-Paarungen mit wachsender Kontaktpressung zu. PET gegen PET hat das ungünstigste Reibverhalten und sollte bei hohen Pressungen vermieden werden. Zum Vergleich getestete Paarungen von Polymeren gegen Aluminium zeigten deutlich günstigeres Reibverhalten ohne signifikanten Stick-Slip. Deshalb sollte bei derartigen Anwendungen sichergestellt werden, dass die Gleitebene zwischen Polymer- und Metalloberfläche liegt. T2 - 55.

Therefore, further investigations have been undertaken in hydrogen environment. This paper presents first results obtained with polyimide composites filled with different types (natural, synthetic) and amounts of graphite in air, vacuum and hydrogen environments.

Sliding tests were run against AISI 52100 steel and the worn surfaces as well as the transfer film were analyzed by means of SEM, EDX and Infrared Spectroscopy. Results indicate that the chemical structure of the polyimide has a major influence on the tribological behavior. While the friction of PI2 remains rather stable in all environments, PI1 showed very low friction in hydrogen without any lubricant. The lubricity of graphite was found to be more effective in hydrogen than in moist air.

In vacuum environment, the friction coefficient against steel balls varies between 0.005 and 0.02 depending on the contact pressure. At high contact pressures, the friction coefficient is as low as 0.005 and the life time between 340,000 and 500,000 cycles. Furthermore, it is shown that a ta-C base layer improves the performance of MoS2 coating. Surface analyses were performed before and after the tribological tests by means of SEM, EDX, XRD, and TEM. They show that in the top layer beneath the sliding surface crystallization of the initially quasi-amorphous MoS2 took place. TEM images also verified an orientation of the basal MoS2-lattice planes parallel to the surface.

Zudem erwies sich diese unterschicht als vorteilhaft für das tribologische Verhalten der MoS2/ta-C Schichten unter atmosphärischen Bedingungen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A series of MoS2 and combined MoS2/ta-C coatings were prepared by lasercontrolled arc evaporation (Laser-Arc) in order to study the tribological coating behaviour under vacuum and atmospheric conditions. Very low friction coefficients down to 0.005 were measured under high vacuum. By using a ta-C underlayer beneath the MoS2 a increased lifetime up to 5×105 load cycles could be obtained. Also under atmospheric conditions the underlayer had a beneficial effect on coating performance.

The effects of environmental (UV and humidity condition) degradation on the frictional properties of TPU materials are presented along with surface analyses to characterize the chemistry of the degradative process. Photooxidative degradation of unfilled polymer leads to deterioration of physical and mechanical properties, which affects its tribological behavior significantly. Due to crosslinking, the stiffness of the material increases, reducing drastically the friction coefficient of unfilled TPUs. The frictional behavior of glass fiber reinforced TPU is less affected by radiation.

T1 - Friction an wear of polymer materials at cryogenic temperatures N2 - Polymers are extensively used for sliding systems in cryogenic applications because of their favourable friction and wear behaviour in the absence of external lubrication. Since important new technologies are based on applications under extreme conditions, such as at low temperatures, new requirements on material properties, in particular regarding their operability and reliability, must be met. Up to now, most tribological investigations have been carried out in inert cryogens or cryogenic gas (He, N2). Few experiments have been performed in vacuum environment at cryogenic temperatures. Rarely were testing in reactive media, such as LH2 or LOX. Due to the wide range of operating conditions in cryogenic applications, it is difficult to state general rules. Therefore, this chapter tends to give an overview on theories and experimental studies on polymer tribology at cryogenic temperatures.

Hence, small mechanical disturbances resulting in frictional heating can be sufficient to exceed the wire’s critical temperature, causing it to quench. Unfortunately, relative motion between surfaces in the magnet System is inevitable due to various forces present in the System, including winding pretension, differences in material thermal contraction and the large electromagnetic forces. Typically insulating polymers are present at this interface to achieve the required electrical insulation requirements.

Ces exigences motivent la mise au point de tribosystèmes pouvant résister à des pressions de contact de plus en plus élevées avec de faibles coefficients de frottement. L'optimisation de systèmes existants par l'application de revêtements de surface performants représente une alternative intéressante. Ce texte présente les performances de couches minces dans des conditions d'essais de slip-rolling (roulement à composante de glissement) en présence de lubrifiants liquides. Après une première sélection à température ambiante, les revêtements les plus performants ont été testés à 120 °C. Il s'agit de revêtements DLC en carbone hydrogéné (a-C:H) et en carbone tétraédrique (ta-C) de dernières générations ainsi qu'un nouveau système « revêtement/substrat ». Certains des revêtements DLC développés récemment sont résistants en slip-rolling au moins jusq'’à 10 millions de cycles à 120 °C dans l'huile moteur sous des pressions hertziennes de contact de P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. De plus, le nouveau système revêtement Zr(C,N)x/substrat peut résister au moins à 1 million de cycles sous des pressions hertziennes initiales de contact allant jusqu'à P0max = 3500 MPa et à des températures de lubrifiant d'au moins 120 °C. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of surface coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents thin film coatings performances in a bench mark test procedure exerting slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. After a first selection at room temperature, the most resistant coatings were evaluated at 120 °C. These are newly developed DLC coatings (a-C:H & ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system. Some of the newly developed DLC-coatings are slip-rolling resistant for at least up to 10 million cycles at 120 °C oil temperature) under Hertzian contact pressures of P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. Furthermore, this novel Zr-based thin film coating can withstand at least 1 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to P0max = 3500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions.

Friction pairs of polymer based materials have been investigated at 4.2 K to gain an understanding of their sliding behavior in conditions representative of superconducting MRI systems.

One possible way is cryogenic storage in liquid form. Generally cryotechnical machines need components with interacting surfaces in relative motion such as bearings, seals or valves, which are subjected to extreme conditions. Materials of such systems have to be resistant to friction-caused mechanical deformation at the surface, low temperatures and hydrogen environment. Since materials failure can cause uncontrolled escape of hydrogen, new material requirements are involved for these tribo-systems, in particular regarding operability and reliability. In the past few years several projects dealing with the influence of hydrogen on the tribological properties of friction couples were conducted at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, (BAM), Berlin. This paper reports some investigations carried out with polymer composites. Friction and wear were measured for continuous sliding and analyses of the worn surfaces were performed after the experiments. Tests were performed at room temperature in hydrogen as well as in liquid hydrogen.

Frictional contacts exposed to hydrogen, are critical because of vanishing protective oxide layers in the presence of a chemical reducing environment. Furthermore, liquid lubricants are often not applicable, because of purity requirements, or very low temperatures in the case of liquid hydrogen. Thus, for numerous tribosystems in hydrogen technology, solid lubrication is the only possible method for reducing friction and wear. Therefore, investigations on the tribological behaviour of friction reducing materials, such as PTFE, graphite, DLC and MoS2, in inert and hydrogen environment were carried out. The results show that solid lubricants, applied as coatings or as components in polymer composites, are able to reduce friction and wear in gaseous as well as in liquid hydrogen. However, some materials are very sensitive to the environmental medium.

The addition of graphite in PI2 has a beneficial effect in hydrogen on the friction and wear. The low friction of graphite is associated with a lubricant film in hydrogen. The influence of hydrogen on graphite is more effective than humidity. CNTs have a similar effect to that of graphite in PEEK composites. TiO2 particles improve significantly the wear rate both in vacuum and hydrogen environment. In LH2 friction and wear decrease for unfilled polymers. Friction of graphite filled composites increases slightly and wear rate is stable. T2 - 10.

Polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were investigated against hardened 52100 martensitic bearing steel and 304 austenitic stainless steel with similar roughness (Ra = 0.2 μm). Results indicate that the friction and wear of PI and PEEK materials depend on the counterface material. This effect wasn’t observed for PTFE composites. While the tribological performance of polyimide is better against 52100 in hydrogen, improved sliding behaviour of PEEK materials is observed with 304 counterface, particularly at higher sliding speed. Surface analyses of the transfer film reveal that the influence of the counterface is primarily related to the chemical nature of the steel for PI and to the thermal conductivity of the disc for PEEK materials.

Polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were investigated against hardened 52100 martensitic bearing steel and 304 austenitic stainless steel with similar roughness (Ra = 0.2 μm). Results indicate that the friction and wear of PI and PEEK materials depend on the counterface material. This effect wasn’t observed for PTFE composites. While the tribological performance of polyimide is better against 52100 in hydrogen, improved sliding behaviour of PEEK materials is observed with 304 counterface, particularly at higher sliding speed. Surface analyses of the transfer film reveal that the influence of the counterface is primarily related to the chemical nature of the steel for PI and to the thermal conductivity of the disc for PEEK materials.

Polymeric materials, which are expected to perform as seals, gaskets, O-rings, hoses among other applications face high risk of damage due to rapid gas decompression (RGD) which might cause operational safety issues. In this study, we intend to assess the effects of a high pressurized hydrogen environment on carbon black filled (CB) elastomers. The materials were exposed to 100 MPa hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature and at 85°C. Ex-situ characterization was performed during the first 30 minutes after decompression and repeated two days after the exposure when total gas desorption has taken place. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials were determined by means of density and volume change, hardness and tensile tests, and dynamic mechanical analysis.

Functionalized silica enhances typical properties to a comparable range like CB. The balance of additives results in suitable RGD performance. Silica filled NBR shows lower H2 uptake compared to non-plasticized CB filled NBR. Morphology of CB filled NBR is less affected by H2 than silica filled grades.

It is therefore crucial to deeply study material compatibility, in particular for tribological components that are directly in contact with hydrogen. Some of the most critical parts are sealing materials that need increased safety requirements. In this study, the fretting behavior of several elastomer materials were evaluated against 316L stainless steel in an air and hydrogen environment up to 10 MPa. Several grades of cross-linked hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene (HNBR), acrylonitrile butadiene (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubbers (EPDM) were investigated. Furthermore, aging experiments were conducted for 7 days under static contions in 100 MPa of hydrogen followed by rapid gas decompression. Fretting tests revealed that the wear of these compounds is significantly affected by the hydrogen environment compared to air, especially with NBR grades. After the aging experiment, the friction response of the HBNR grades is characterized by increased adhesion due to elastic deformation, leading to partial slip.

Based on the CSA/ANSI standard, static exposures in hydrogen experiments were performed up to 100 MPa at 120 °C. Characterization before and after exposure was conducted by means of density and hardness measurements, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), tensile tests, compression set, FT-IR and AFM analyses to assess effects after decompression. While the effect of high-pressure exposure is significant immediately after exposure, most of the physical and mechanical properties recover after 48 hours. FT-IR, AFM, SEM and compression set results indicate, however, permanent effects.

Therefore, it is necessary to pursue research on material compatibility in hydrogen, especially for critical parts with tribological issues. The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on a wider range of commercially available polymer materials. Thereby, the friction and wear behavior of different grades of TPE, POM, PA66, PA12, PPA, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PAI, PI and PBI were investigated against a rotating steel disk (AISI 304). Filled and unfilled polymers from different suppliers were evaluated at room temperature in air, vacuum and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at - 253°C (LH2). The sliding behavior of the polymer materials is discussed by means of surface analyses, whereby special attention is paid to the formation of a transfer film. According to the results at ambient temperature, the effect of hydrogen environment on the tribological behavior of neat polymers may be related to lack of moisture, but also to saturated hydrocarbons in gaseous hydrogen. In liquid hydrogen, the best tribological performances were achieved with neat PA polymers as well as PPS and PI composites.
