Abstract:In tribological applications, such as sliding bearing, polymers tends to wear more quickly than indicated in laboratory wear tests. The reason for this discrepancy has been attributed to the effect of loading conditions. In the current study, the influence of loading mode on the wear characteristics of polyamide (PA66) against steel counterpart was investigated in dry and wet sliding conditions. The polymer was tested under different static and cyclic loading conditions in order to provide a comprehensive unde… Show more
