摘要：
The effect of ultrasound treatment of expanded graphite (EG) on structure and tribological behavior of PTFE-EG composites filled with 5 mass % of EG is studied. It is found that sonicated EG (EG(S)) increases the friction coefficient of PTFE composite compared to that of the composite filled with the original EG (EG(O)). Filling with EG allows to reduce the wear rate of PTFE up to a factor of approximate to 700 to Kw approximate to 6x10-(7) mm(3)/ Nm depending on the friction conditions. At high sliding velocity causing high frictional heating, the wear rate of PTFE-EG(S) composite is several times higher than that of PTFE-EG(O) owing to reduced thermooxidative stability of both EG(S) and PTFEEGS composite, whereas at friction regimes with small frictional heating the wear rates of the two composites are similar. It is also found that the wear rates reduce with the increasing content of iron carboxylates in the friction layer of the composites, which evolve from interaction of the counterface steel with the products of PTFE tribochemical degradation. The counterface steel is transferred onto the friction surface of the composite specimen in the form of spherical particles of micrometer-nanometer size range according to SEM and electron probe analysis. Chemical bonding of the fine steel particles to the tribochemically modified macromolecules of PTFE reinforces the running film and improves the wear resistance of the composites. Both the content of transferred iron and the wear resistance of PTFE-EG composites increase significantly with the increase in the relative humidity of the ambient air. EG filler aggregates delaminate at friction into thinner platelets of nanographite which may accumulate in the friction surface layer of the composites. Accumulation of the filler is more expressed in highly wear resistant composites and has an additional effect on reduction of the wear rate.
