Infrared microscope studies of surface temperatures produced by friction with graphite-epoxy and carbon-PEEK composites

An infrared microscope system was used to measure the temperatures at the interfaces of graphite-epoxy and carbon-PEEK composites in unidirectional sliding contact with sapphire. Effects of fiber orientation and velocity on tribological parameters were examined. Oscillating contact conditions with g...
