Abstract:
The purpose of the program was to acquire the materials performance characteristics necessary to design control surface bearings for future space re-entry vehicles. The friction, wear, and limiting load capacity of candidate super alloy, cermet, and ceramic specimen materials, with and without lubricants, were studied at temperatures of from -100 to 2500 F in air. Subsequent tests were run at temperatures of om -100 to 1500 F in an ultrahigh vacuum ranging from 10 to the -6th to 10 to the -9th power Torr. Results indicated significant differences in performance of the selected materials. None of the tested lubricants provided any significant improvement. Author
