TY - CONF A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Tribological behaviour of graphite filled polyimide composites in hydrogen environment N2 - The tribological behaviour of graphite filled polyimide composites against steel (AISI 52100) was investigated in air, vacuum and hydrogen environments. Composites consist of two polyimides filled with different types and amount of graphite. Friction and wear measurements were performed at 0.2m/s and 3.1MPa at ambient temperature. Worn surfaces and morphology of the material transfer on the steel counter-face were investigated by optical microscopy and SEM analyses. Results reveal that the polyimide structure has an important influence on the friction behaviour of graphite filled composites in hydrogen environment.

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.

Tensile tests were performed at room temperature (RT) in air and in LN2. Tribological experiments were carried out with a pin-on-disc configuration at RT, in LN2, in LH2 and in LHe. PEEK composites have a better tribological performance than PTFE materials especially regarding the wear resistance.

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.

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.
