Study of peek as a friction lining concerning abrasion wear of parts of mining machines

Abstract eng:
With a growing awareness of engineering polymers, there is an increasing application of polymers and polymeric composites for machine elements. Because of their relatively low cost of manufacturing and ability to work without lubrication in contact with different types of materials, especially at increasing temperatures polymers are more often applied. This paper investigates the wear behaviour of poly etherether-ketone (PEEK) as a frictional lining of parts of mining machines. PEEK and its composites, reinforced with carbon, aramid and glass fibres, were analysed over their wear and frictional properties as well as their potential damage mechanisms.
