Lr. Vishnyakov et al., TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THERMALLY EXPANDED GRAPHITE REINFORCED WITH KNITTED METAL NETS, Powder metallurgy and metal ceramics, 36(7-8), 1997, pp. 381-384
Production of thermally expanded graphite composites reinforced with k
nitted copper net is developed and their tribological properties are d
etermined. Wear resistance under reciprocating and rotary movement can
be improved by the reinforcement. Reinforced thermally expanded graph
ite seals may be a substitute for asbestos-containing materials.
