A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Frictional behavior of material couples in superconducting MRI magnet systems at 4.2 K JF - IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity N2 - Windings in superconducting magnets operating at 4.2 K are highly susceptible to quenching caused by small frictional heat inputs. Small movements in the magnet system are inevitable during ramping due to the increasing electromagnetic forces. 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. The results indicate that polymer-polymer pairs experience unstable sliding behavior with repeated stick-slip whereas polymer-aluminum couples have stable sliding behavior up to high contact pressures of 20 MPa.

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.
