Unfilled PTFE has a low friction coefficient, but also a high wear rate (K~10-4-10-3 mm3/Nm). Different filler materials can reduce the wear rate of PTFE by ~104 against 304 SS. These ultra-low wear composites form a film between the sliding interfaces which lowers the wear rate. The film observed on the counterbody is known as transfer film. Recently three metal filler (Cr, Ti, Mn) particles were able to achieve ultra-low wear rate against Brass 260 but mixed performance against 304 SS. This discovery motivated to explore other countebodies such as Cu110 and Zn. The test showed high variation in friction coefficient and wear rate among different counterbodies. Hence the transfer film needed to be analyzed to find the relation between these fillers and counterbodies other than 304 SS. PTFE-Cr was chosen for this study as it showed the most variation among the counterbodies (~2× variation in μ and 1000× variation in wear rate). PTFE-Cr showed lowest wear rate against Brass 260 (K~7.1×10-9 mm3/Nm with desired transfer film properties: coverage (Lf~50 μm @ 50 m), thickness (~300 nm), surface energy (~35 mJ/m2), low friction coefficient(μ~0.2). Cu 110, 304 SS, and Zn coated steel showed abrasive wear resulted in high wear rate.
