Effects of Electron Beam Irradiation on Mechanical and Tribological Properties of PEEK

Abstract: In this work, the mechanical and tribological characteristics of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) sheets were enhanced by electron beam irradiation. PEEK sheets irradiated at a speed of 0.8 m/min with a total dose of 200 kGy achieved the lowest specific wear rate of 4.57 ± 0,69 (10−6 mm3/N−1m−1), compared to unirradiated PEEK with a rate of 13.1 ± 0.42 (10−6 mm3/N−1m−1). Exposure to an electron beam at 9 m/min for 30 runs, with a dose of 10 kGy per run for a total dose of 300 kGy, resulted in the highest improvemen… Show more
