AbstractTribological behaviour of PTFE and graphited PTFE have been evaluated under lubricated conditions and compared with dry wear. The stress selected is in the range of 0.44 to 1.64 MPa, and the data generated are relevant to conformal contacts. Mineral oil lubrication can reduce wear of PTFE by one to two orders of magnitude. With graphited PTFE the lubricant effect is lower in comparison to that observed with PTFE. Specific wear rates are plotted on a histogram.
