...Catalin Pirvu; Laura Maftei; Constantin Georgescu; Lorena Deleanu Purpose This paper aims to present the influence of glass bead concentration in a matrix of polyamide on wear and several three-dimensional (3D) parameters of the surface texture when the composite is sliding on steel in dry contact...

...Shibo Wang Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the distribution and surface characteristic of transfer film of polyamide composites filled with ZnOw during traction rolling. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, the traction rolling tribological behavior...

...Wang Shi‐bo Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the tribological properties of Polyamide 1010 (PA 1010) in rolling friction with traction. Design/methodology/approach PA1010 composites filled with zinc oxide whiskers (ZnOw) were prepared by hot compression molding. The compressive...

...Pieter Samyn; Tony M. Tuzolana Purpose The purpose of this paper is to verify, experimentally, the sliding stability of cast polyamide samples under dry sliding in contact with different steel counterface roughnesses. The effect of catalyser (sodium or magnesium) and addition of internal oil...
