This paper reports the effect of surface chlorination, oxidation, and phosphatization of carbon steel, copper, and aluminum, and surface treatment with sodium naphthalenide of PTFE on wear of PTFE. It was found that the wear behavior of untreated PTFE is not affected by surface treatments of metals but treatment of PTFE can reduce its wear by a factor of at least 100. The wear mechanism of PTFE is discussed.
