Friction surface modifiers of carbon-containing material for high-temperature operation

Abstract

The results of high-temperature tribological tests of carbon-containing material in friction on heat-resistant stainless steel 40X13 in the temperature range from 20 to 700 °C under atmospheric conditions are presented. Friction surface modifiers “Argolon-2D” material improve antifriction properties and decrease friction coefficient value. Friction coefficient when using Ni-Se-PTFE modifier at load of 0.67 MPa and speed of 0.16 m/s is less by 5% than at speed of 0.05 m/s, and at speed of 0.25 m/s friction coefficient is less by 13% than at speed of 0.05 m/s. At 500 °C and a load of 0.67 MPa the friction coefficient when using Ni-Se-PTFE modifier is 30% higher than when using InSb-PTFE modifier, and the friction coefficient when using CuO-PTFE modifier is 1.2 times higher than when using InSb-PTFE modifier.
