Effect of Hygrothermal Ageing on Tribological Behaviour of PTFE-Based Composites

open access: yesLubricants, 2018
The present study investigates the influence of hygrothermal ageing on the tribological behaviour of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer composites. Three PTFE composites along with unfilled PTFE were tested in sliding contact against Inconel 625 (a ...

Surface Characterization of Stainless Steel 316L Coated with Various Nanoparticle Types

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Background. Material tribology has widely expanded in scope and depth and is extended from the mechanical field to the biomedical field. The present study aimed to characterize the nanocoating of highly pure (99.9%) niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), and vanadium (V) deposited on 316L stainless steel (SS) substrates which considered the most widely used ...
