Abstract
Polymer materials are increasingly being used for sliding machine elements due to their numerous advantages. They are used even where they are deformed and in such a state that they interact frictionally, e.g., in machine hydraulics or lip seals. Few publications deal with the influence of deformation, which is the effect of, e.g., assembly on tribological properties of polymeric material. This deformation can reach up to ε 20% and is achieved without increasing the temperature of the polymer material. The paper presents the results of investigations in which high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) was maintained in deformation by means of a special grip (holder). The wear of the sample was significantly higher than that of the undeformed sample. This effect persisted even after partial relaxation of the stress in the sample after 24 h. Additional investigations were carried out to explain the obtained results. There were the microscopic observations of the surface after friction, measurements of microhardness, and surface free energy. Changes in the value of surface free energy and a significant decrease in microhardness with deformation under tension were observed. Deformed materials have a different surface appearance after friction and a different size and form of wear products. It was indicated that it is probable that the cohesion of the material will decrease and that the character of the wear process will change as a result of tension. Deformation under tension without heating of polymeric material (PE-HD), e.g., as a result of assembly, has been qualified as a threat to be taken into account when designing and analysing polymeric sliding elements.
