Optimization of friction, wear and temperature in graphite-reinforced PTFE/bronze composite bearings using Taguchi analysis
This study aims to develop and optimize a self-lubricating porous plain bearing system fabricated through powder metallurgy and surface spray coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and graphite-reinforced PTFE composites. The research focuses on minimizing friction coefficient, wear loss and bearing operating te...
