Temperature dependence of friction under cryogenic conditions in vacuum

چکیده
We have constructed a sliding block cryotribometer designed to measure friction at cryogenic temperatures and UHV conditions. An optical cryostat and high speed video was used to monitor the motion of the block. The temperature range of the measurements was 4–460 K. Both the static and dynamic friction coefficients were determined for a steel ball on stainless steel, sapphire, and PTFE (Teflon) plates, and for a sapphire ball on a sapphire plate. For all material combinations, no systematic variation of friction with temperature was observed in the temperature range 4–200 K.

Cryogenic vacuum tribology of diamond and diamond-like carbon films
Friction measurements have been performed on microcrystalline, ultrananocrystalline, and diamond-like carbon DLC films with natural diamond counterfaces in the temperature range of 8 K to room temperature. All films exhibit low friction 0.1 in air at room temperature. In ultrahigh vacuum, microcrystalline diamond quickly wears into a high friction state 0.6 , which is independent of temperature...

متن کاملFriction and wear during twin-disc experiments under ambient and cryogenic conditions
We present a classical rolling contact apparatus where two discs roll and slide under a constant normal loading. Experimental results concerning bearing steel used in ambient air or under severe temperature conditions (Liquid Nitrogen) are presented. A simplified model proposed by Kalker (Fastsim) is used to identify the dynamic friction coefficient between these discs and to study the apparatu...

The recent availability of very low wear materials that undergo primarily interfacial sliding has enabled studies that more directly probe the fundamental aspects of friction. This paper reports on variable temperature experiments that were conducted with common polymeric and lamellar solid lubricant materials. Friction coefficient consistently increased with decreased temperature well into the...
