The investigation of tribological performance of polyamide 6 polymer and polyamide 6/wax blend against themselves [Poliamid 6 polimeri ile poliamid 6/vaks karişiminin kendi üzerlerinde çalişmasi durumundaki tribolojik davranişlarinin incelenmesi]

In the study,tribological performance of unfilled polyamide 6 and polyamide 6 blend with wax against themselves have been investigated. wax filled polyamide 6 blend has been prepared by using an industrial type twin screw extruder. tribological test samples have been produced by an injection moulding method according to astm g99 standard. tribological tests were carried out on a pin-on-disc testing machine at loads of 10n,20n,30n,50n,75n,100n,200n and 250n and sliding speed of 0.5 m/s. from the tribological results,it is concluded that coefficient of friction and specific wear rate values of polyamide 6/wax blend were lower than that of unfilled polyamide 6. optical microscope was used to investigate worn surfaces of polyamide 6 polymer and polyamide 6/wax blend.
