Summary

Frictional problems in superconducting magnets are related to the stability and reliability of the magnets, because frictional heating causes quench of the magnet and the frictional resistance determines the limit of the shear force at the contacting surfaces. To find those materials possessing low friction, the frictional properties of ceramics of zirconium oxide and silicon(3)-nitrogen(4), three different kinds of molybdenum sulphur coated films and polyethylene fibre reinforced plastics were examined at 4 K in liquid helium under reciprocating sliding conditions. Results are given.
