Potential of fibers and solid lubricants to enhance the tribo‐utility of PEEK in adverse operating conditions

J. Bijwe, Nidhi

Poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK), a specialty polymer, does not have any tribo‐utility as a bearing material in a virgin form since it exhibits quite a high coefficient of friction …

An investigation on the lubrication mechanisms of the mechanical radial face seals – II: hydraulic balance of the ring

Erdem Koç, Emel Ceyhun Sabir

The main purpose of the research work carried out is to investigate the hydraulic balance conditions of the sealing ring of a mechanical radial face seal in terms of the residual…

Deformation simulation of ground materials by coated abrasives (wear test)

Hiroki Endo, Etsuo Marui

This study seeks to clarify the behavior of ground materials and the grinding mechanism corresponding to the wear of abrasives, in the grinding process by coated abrasives.
