Cu-Al alloy and Mo coatings were deposited on a low carbon steel substrate using an atmospheric plasma spray machine. Pure PTFE and PTFE metal powder composites were deposited on the metallic coatings. Studied and compared are PTFE-metal coatings and PTFE compositesmetal coatings filled with different metal powders with the proportion of 10% (mass). Mass loss and coefficient of friction were measured under dry reciprocating sliding tests. The worn surfaces of samples were observed by microscopy. The influence of additives on the wear resistance was assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
