Abstract
AbstractEngineering polymers are increasingly being used as self‐lubricating materials in demanding high‐load applications. In this study, a comparison has been made of the tribological behaviour under high‐load conditions of two grades of polyamide and polyethylene terephthalate as well as polyacetal. Large‐scale testing is used to reduce edge effects. It has been found that the two grades of polyamide and pure polyethylene terephthalate are prone to stick—slip, while internally lubricated polyethylene terephthalate and polyacetal show low friction and wear and no stick—slip.
