Comments on: What composites can be used in sliding applications? http://www.andersoncompositesquadron.org/graphite-composite/what-composites-can-be-used-in-sliding-applications/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:21:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Caleb http://www.andersoncompositesquadron.org/graphite-composite/what-composites-can-be-used-in-sliding-applications/#comment-758 Caleb Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:17:59 +0000 http://www.andersoncompositesquadron.org/graphite-composite/what-composites-can-be-used-in-sliding-applications#comment-758 There are literally thousands of options. Some of the more common ones are carbon/graphite composites as you mentioned, ceramics, PTFE (known by du-pont as Teflon), some people use brass on steel for gear sets because the brass absorbs liquid lubrication well and reduces noise... You'll find that just about any plastics manufacturer that makes wear components has at least 50 options that vary in mechanical properties and price. You'll need to know a lot more about the forces and stresses at the area of sliding contact, the temperature that is reached during use, and several other parameters before you can make a good choice.<br><b>References : </b><br> There are literally thousands of options.
