In this presentation tribological investigations on steels, polymers and coatings in gaseous and liquid hydrogen are shown. For steels the results of show that although martensitic steel may suffer from hydrogen embrittlement, application e.g. in roller bearings is possible. On the other hand, martensitic transformation of austenitic steels may cause problems in the application of these materials. Furthermore, the tribological performance of polymer composites with and without solid lubricant fillers in gaseous and liquid hydrogen was investigated. In particular, PEEK- and PTFE-matrix compounds showed low friction and sufficient low wear under these conditions. Among the solid lubricants, carbon-based materials are appropriate for hydrogen applications. Several variants of DLC and ta-C materials were tested. Beside the results for hydrogen, also a comparison with CH4-environment is shown.
The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on the friction and wear behavior of a wide range of polymer materials. Thereby, the tribological performance of filled und unfilled polymers from different suppliers were compared at room temperature in air and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at -235°C (LH2).
Increasing demand for alternatives to tungsten carbide (WC) cemented carbides as cutting tools, due to the health risks of their wear products WO3 and Co3O4. Niobium carbide (NbC) has a high potential, due to its high wear resitance, high hot hardness and melting point (3520°C), and low solubility in iron alloys.
This paper focuses on the influence of the counterface materials on the sliding behaviour of polymer materials in hydrogen. 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.
