Abstract: | The wear resistance of a shaft in friction against polyethylene filled with abrasive filler particles (fiberglass, SiO2) has been investigated. Compositions containing fiberglass can be successfully employed in combination with steel, but are not recommended in combination with brass. Compositions containing SiO2 cause considerable wear of the steel shaft.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
