Abstract
Polymer based materials are widely used do to their good corrosion resistance, self lubrication, and wear resistance properties at low speeds, but are not suitable for lubrication in journal bearings. High performance engineering polymers offer desired properties for journal bearings and give good tribological results. In this study, tribological behaviors of polymer based composite bearings manufactured from particle reinforced bakelite have been investigated and evaluated. Reinforcement significantly improved wear resistance of bronze-bakelite composite bearings.
