    Abstract Graphite is the most suitable material as dry lubricant. However, its application as a lubricant is limited with necessity of moisture vapors. Alternatively, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has an excellent lubrication property but does not have mechanical characteristics. The effect of gamma radiation doses on the lubrication behavior of graphite –PTFE (Inoflon A-408) system has been studied using (TR-TW-30L) tribotester with thrust washer attachment. Different compositions of graphite and PTFE were prepared and irradiated by gamma rays. Improved tribological properties of graphite –PTFE system showed by decrease in coefficient of friction and wear. SEM-EDX, XRD and contact More >
