Abstract

A method is proposed for quantitatively characterizing the thickness of transfer films of PTFE/α-alumina composites. The transfer films were produced by pin-on-disk tribotests in rotational mode and linear reciprocating mode. Based on chemical and morphological analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, the peak area of the CF₂ antisymmetric stretching vibrational absorption peak at 1205 cm⁻¹ was found to be linearly correlated with transfer film thickness which follows the Lambert-Beer Law. With this relationship, a simple, rapid and nondestructive method for measuring the thickness of polymeric transfer films was proposed, which provides a promising approach for an in-depth understanding of the transfer film formation process and the self-lubrication mechanism.
