TY - GEN A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Polymer Composites at Cryogenic Temperatures N2 - This paper presents the mechanical and tribological properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) matrix composites filled with short carbon fibers in cryogenic environments. 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.

T1 - Temperature dependence of the propagation speed of a longitudinal wave in different solids for use as a wedge material in an extreme-temperature-resistant ultrasonic transducer N2 - In special cases of angle beam ultrasonic measurement – e.g. defect detection in hot solids as well as flow measurement of liquid gases or energy storage mediums – the applied transducer has to withstand extreme temperatures. Since the irradiation angle into the specific material is determined not only by wedge design, but also by the speed of sound in both the wedge material and the tested object, the developer must take into account the speed of the wave propagation in a wedge material over the whole temperature range of transducers application. In this study we investigate the temperature dependence of the speed of longitudinal wave propagation in 10 different materials in the range from -200 °C to 400 °C. The investigated materials belong to different material classes (ceramics, glass, as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals) and are all temperature-resistant up to at least 600 °C, and therefore applicable as wedge materials in an ultrasonic transducer for use at extreme temperatures.

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.

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.

Die verschlissenen Oberflächen und die Morphologie des Materialübertrags auf die Stahl-Gegenfläche wurden mit Lichtmikroskopie, REM, TEM und FTIR untersucht.

A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Stick-slip behaviour of polymer films in LHe N2 - Superconducting magnets are susceptible to quenching, even with the smallest amounts of energy disturbances due to the extremely low thermal capacity of materials at 4.2 K. 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.
