This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic, which is often selected for high- temperature tribological applications under chemically aggressive environments. The present work investigates the tribological behavior of a high-performance PEEK composite under conditions that are often found inside hermetic compressors. Therefore, an AMTI tribometer equipped with a hermetic chamber and a heating system was used to conduct sliding tests of PEEK cylinders on AISI 304 stainless steel polished discs (Sq <10 nm) with reciprocating movement and a normal force of 175 N. The tribological behavior of the PEEK/AISI 304 stainless steel system was investigated as a function of ambient temperature (30 °C and 80 °C) and atmosphere (atmospheric air and tetrafluoroethane). Wear and surface roughness analyses were performed with white light interferometry and optical microscopy. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate transfer films on the counter body surface. Temperature was observed to have a strong influence on the tribological behavior of the samples tested under atmospheric air, with a 25% decrease in the friction coefficient associated with a 100% increase in the wear rate. However, the friction measured from the samples tested under a tetrafluoroethane atmosphere showed no significant temperature dependence.

More recently, the refrigerant industry has shown interest in oil-less compressors [8, 9]. This new genera- tion of products, in addition to having environmental benefits, attains new levels of efficiency and allows for the development of innovative refrigerators [10]. In this context, solid lubricant polymeric materials are a promising alternative to reduce the friction and wear in these lubricant-free systems. However, the harsh * Corresponding author: Felipe Darabas RZATKI.

Compounds based on polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are certainly some of the most promising materials in current polymer tribology [11]. Few studies regarding the tribological behavior of polymeric materials under dry conditions and refrigerant atmospheres are available [2−7]. Cannaday and Polycarpou [3] found that a tetrafluoroethane atmosphere resulted in tribological properties that were slightly superior to those reported in atmospheric air for several polymeric materials and composites. Moreover, McCook et al. [12] reported that neat PEEK showed a lower friction coefficient and less wear under dry and vacuum environments. However, the effect of the ambient temperature on these systems remains unclear.PDF Image | Effect of temperature and atmosphere on the tribological behavior of a polyether ether ketone composite
