Tests were performed with carbon fibre reinforced PEEK composites filled with PTFE, and MoS2 or graphite as further solid lubricant. Polymer samples were tested in a pin-on-disc configuration continuously sliding against CrNi-steel. Depending on sliding speed and temperature, the MoS2 filled composites showed high wear resistance and friction coefficients as low as PVD coatings.

In tribologischen Untersuchungen im trockenen Gleitkontakt mit reversierender bzw. einsinniger Bewegungsrichtung wurden Reibungs- und Verschleißkoeffizienten in Abhängigkeit der Luftfeuchtigkeit und im Hochvakuum bestimmt. In den durchgeführten Oberflächenuntersuchungen von Schicht und Gegenkörper zeigten sich interessante Phänomene hinsichtlich Transfer- bzw. Triboreaktionsschichten. Obwohl die Ergebnisse eine Verschlechterung der ta-C-Eigenschafien mit abnehmender Luftfeuchtigkeit zeigen, sind die Reibungs- und Verschleißeigenschaften im Hochvakuum zum Teil erstaunlich positiv.

A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Frictional behavior of material couples in superconducting MRI magnet systems at 4.2 K 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.

Author's previous benchmark of composites in liquid hydrogen (LH2) showed that graphite filled polymers have beneficial friction behaviour in this extreme condition. 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. A particular attention is taken to the influence of hydrogen on graphite as well as on the polymer matrix.

Um deren Wirkung zu untersuchen, wurden verschiedene Pulvermischungen in einer Stift-Scheibe-Anordnung tribologisch beansprucht, um künstliche dritte Körper zu erzeugen und zu testen, deren definierte Zusammensetzungen aus drei wichtigen Bestandteilen einer realen Reibschicht bestehen: Magnetit, Graphit und div. Metallsulfide. N2 - Besides carbon, metal sulphides are used in every standard brake pad formulation as friction stabilisers. In order to investigate their impact, various powder mixtures were tribologically stressed in a pin-on-disc device in order to produce and test artificial third bodies. containing the three main components of a real friction film, namely magnetite, graphite and a metal sulphide of interest. Since the sliding behaviour is influenced by the relative humidity the powder mixtures are tested at low, medium and high moisture levels. The tests revealed that the presence of graphite dominates the friction behaviour as well as the humidity sensitivity. The powders were prepared by either manual mixing or high energy ball-milling. Interestingly, all ball-milled blends provided coefficients of friction within the desired range for braking, which was attributed to the effect of zirconia particles from wear debris of the milling balls. The zirconia particles prevent the formation of solid lubricant films on the surfaces and support a homogeneous mixture of all constituents of the powder. Optimum brake performance is gained by an optimum combination of solid lubricants and abrasives. T2 - 57.
