Mechanical and tribological properties of polymer composites at cryogenic temperatures.

Author(s) : THEILER G., GRADT T.

Summary

This paper presents the mechanical and tribological properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) matrix composites filled with short carbon fibres in cryogenic environments. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature in air and in LN2. Tribological experiments were carried out with a pin-on-disc configuration at room temperature, in LN2, in LH2 and in LHe. PEEK composites have a better tribological performance than PTFE materials especially regarding the wear resistance.
