Abstract

The friction units of modern power turbines require the use of special materials with a stable and low coefficient of friction in extreme conditions. The most successfully used for these purposes are antifriction carbon-graphite materials, in particular isotropic pyrolytic carbon. It is established that isotropic pyrolytic carbon has a lower friction coefficient and wear rate than ATG-S antifriction graphite. Based on the analysis of the microstructure and fractograms of wear traces, it was suggested that the difference in the tribological behavior of materials is caused by various mechanisms of material destruction. It is also shown that isotropic pyrolytic carbon tends to decrease the wear rate and friction coefficient with increasing density. Ill. 7. Ref. 10. Tab. 1.
