TY - JOUR A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Comparison of the sliding behavior of several polymers in gaseous and liquid hydrogen N2 - The development of hydrogen technologies entails high safety requirements in distribution and dispensing infrastructure. 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.

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.

N2 - The prediction of the properties of the materials used in the operation of components is of enormous importance, in order to accelerate the development process of new components. To evaluate new materials in terms of their performance (in a component), the development of new innovative methods is necessary. These methods can also be summarized under the term lab-to-field or materials – upscaling, meaning materials being characterised in a laboratory and their properties being upscaled to the component performance by means of e.g. simulation. i-TRIBOMAT is a EU funded project (H2020, GA Nr. 814494) aiming at building an Open Innovation Test Bed for tribological material characterization and offering corresponding services from tribological characterization of new materials to simulation models for predicting the performance of industrial components. By bundling the infrastructure, know-how for characterization and building a digital platform, i-TRIBOMAT becomes the world’s largest open innovation test bed for tribological material characterization.

Encapsulated by an outer and inner steel structure, spruce wood is often applied in layers of alternating direction. The friction at the interfaces between these layers is of crucial importance for the impact and energy absorption e.g., at an accidental impact of a cask against a hard target. In order to get detailed information for corresponding numerical calculations, in this study the friction coefficient for the combinations wood-wood and wood-steel was measured in the temperature range between -40°C and 90°C according to the relevant stress conditions for such casks. Results show decreasing friction with increasing temperature, ranging from 0.43 at -40°C to 0.22 for 90°C for wood-steel combinations and from 0.3 at -40°C to 0.24 at 90°C to for a wood-wood combination.

Niobium carbide (NbC) is well suited as a cutting tool due to its high melting point and low solubility in iron. So far, NbC-Ni cermets best met the requirements of high hardness and toughness. Various secondary carbides such as VC, Mo2C, TiC, but also WC were added to further improve the hardness. N2 - Aufgrund des rasanten Preisanstiegs von Wolframcarbid und signifikanter Gesundheitsrisiken, die mit den Verschleißprodukten von WC-Co-Hartmetallen (Co3O4 and Wo3) einhergehen, wird eine Alternative benötigt. Niobcarbid (NbC) ist als Zerspanwerkzeug aufgrund seiner hohen Schmelztemperatur und seiner geringen Löslichkeit in Eisen gut geeignet. Im Vergleich zu reinem NbC, führte eine vollständige Substitution von WC zu NbC-Co zu einem Anstieg der Zähigkeit und Festigkeit. Als alternative Binder wurden anschließend Nickel- und Eisengebundene Binder untersucht. Obwohl eisengebundene Hartmetalle im Vergleich zu NbC-Ni Hartmetallen eine ökonomische und kostengünstigere Alternative darstellen würden, zeigten sie einen höheren Reibkoeffizienten und eine höhere Verschleißrate. Bisher erfüllen die NbC-Ni-Hartmetalle die Anforderungen hinsichtlich einer hohen Härte und Zähigkeit am besten. Verschiedene Sekundärkarbide, wie VC, Mo2C, TiC, aber auch WC wurden zusätzlich hinzugefügt, um die Härte weiter zu steigern. Elementanalysen der NbC-Ni-MeC Hartmetalle (Me = Metall) zeigten, dass der Binder eine kubisch-flächenzentrierter Mischkristall ist, während die NbC Phase ein Mischkristall des Typs (Nb, Me)C ist.
