The effect of temperature on the coefficient of friction of radiation-modified fluoroplast during lubrication with hydraulic fluid.

The article presents the results of a study of the influence of temperature on the coefficient of friction of radiation-modified fluoroplastic when lubricated with hydraulic fluid. A friction pair of radiation-hardened fluoroplastic with 40X steel, when lubricated with AMg-10 hydraulic fluid, has good anti-friction properties. The friction coefficient F4M when lubricated with hydraulic fluid is low. At a temperature of 90 °C and a speed of 2.5 m/s, the friction coefficient F4M at a load of 2.003 MPa is 0.04. Bushings made of F4M paired with steel 40X can be used in pumps when lubricated with AMg-10 working fluid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
