Enhancement of the wear resistance of bronze-filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites has been achieved using various fillers, for example, chromic oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ), molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), graphite, and nanometer aluminum oxide (nAl 2 O 3 ), in the present study. The wear resistance was evaluated by a block-on-ring wear tester, and the effects of fillers on the wear resistance as well as the mechanism were investigated. The wear rate for the composite where the recipe containing 59% PTFE 1 40% bronze 1 1% Cr 2 O 3 was 0.5 3 10 25 mm
23/N m and for the composite in the recipe containing 60% PTFE 1 40% bronze was 4.2 3 10 25 mm 23 /N m, which meant that that Cr 2 O 3 increased the wear resistance by approximately 10 times. The differential scanning calorimetry measure analysis showed that Cr 2 O 3 had a positive effect on the crystallization of PTFE; the crystallinity of PTFE composites increased from 45% to 52%, which exhibited improved wear resistance. Wear testing and scanning electron microscope analysis had shown that Cr 2 O 3 had a positive effect on the formation of transfer film and keeping it stable to exhibit improved wear resistance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results also showed that Cr 2 O 3 was effective in tribochemical reactions during sliding against stainless ring; these maybe responsible for forming transfer film and lowering wear rate of composite.
