Investigation of the structure, composition, and properties of the carboplasic contact surface in tribotests

The processes evolving on carboplastic surfaces during contact interaction with a steel counterbody are discussed. The structure, composition, and tribological properties of the film of secondary structures appearing during friction are investigated. The dependences of the friction coefficient and wear on pressure and sliding velocity are established. The results of comparative tests allow us to identify FUT B83 as the carboplastic with the lowest friction coefficient and UGET as the carboplastic with the greatest wear resistance.
