Tribological characterisation of new PAEK polymer developments
| Abstract | High performance injection mouldable polyaryletherketone family (PAEK) polymers, and their engineered compounds, are materials that facilitate and enable automotive manufacturers to achieve safety, environmental and cost goals now and in the future. For automotive powertrain designers and manufacturers, addressing frictional performance needs of new technology adopted onto the modern passenger car is a key performance challenge. As automotive powertrain manufacturers continue to innovate to meet the legislation and cost goals, the pressure, velocity and temperature can affect the frictional performance of components and as such will reduce the lifetime reliability. The project objective is to fully chararcterise the tribological perfomance of current and new PAEK polymers. Assessing the tribological performance of development PAEK polymers would provide a starting point to determine the performance potential at an early stage for addressing the needs, and support the delivery of a solution to enable continued downsizing, weight saving and increased reliability to Automotive powertrain manufacturers. |
