TL;DR: In this article, a pin-on-ring tribometer was used to test the wear properties of graphite composites of 8, 15, and 20% graphite powders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the tribological behavior of the piston ring assembly using nanoparticles as nano-lubricant additives, and the results showed a decrease in the friction coefficient, power losses and wear.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the work involved in that portion of the abrasion which actually results in wear is a negligible proportion of the frictional work, and that an essential part is played by deformation.
Abstract: IN the literature of friction it has been generally assumed, often implicitly, that there is no causal relationship between wear and friction. Schnurmann1 has shown that the results of measurements of static friction on naked cadmium surfaces at temperatures down to — 100° C. indicate that abrasion cannot be the only factor responsible for the elementary mechanism of friction, and that an essential part is played by deformation. The following treatment, however, provides direct evidence for this lack of a causal relationship. It is shown that the work involved in that portion of the abrasion which actually results in wear is a negligible proportion of the frictional work.

TL;DR: In this article, a PEEK filled PTFE composite that exhibits low friction and ultra-low wear was presented, which is hypothesized that a synergistic effect shuts down the dominant wear mechanism of each constituent.
