Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was implanted with 450 keV and 100 keV O+ ions at dosage of 1 x 10(15)/cm2, 5 x 10(15)/cm2, 3 x 10(14)/cm2, respectively. Its wear behaviors were studied under dry friction condition and lubrication by means of distilled water using a pin-on-disk tribometer with a Si3N4 ceramic ball as a counterface. The wear surfaces were examined with SEM. The experimental results showed that the wear rate of implanted UHMWPE is lower than that of un-implanted UHMWPE under both dry and distilled friction conditions, especially for 450 keV energy and 5 x 10(15)/cm2 dose implantation. The friction coefficient of O+ ions implanted UHMWPE is higher than that of un-implanted UHMWPE under both dry and distilled friction conditions. The adhesive, plow and plastic deformation are the wearing mechanism for un-implanted UHMWPE; the fatigue and abrasive wear are that for implanted UHMWPE.
分别以450千电子伏特和100千电子伏特的氧离子,在剂量为1×10¹⁵/cm²、5×10¹⁵/cm²、3×10¹⁴/cm²的条件下对超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)进行注入。使用以Si₃N₄陶瓷球为对偶面的销盘式摩擦磨损试验机,研究其在干摩擦条件和蒸馏水润滑条件下的磨损行为。用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)检查磨损表面。实验结果表明,在干摩擦和蒸馏水摩擦条件下,注入后的UHMWPE的磨损率均低于未注入的UHMWPE,特别是对于450千电子伏特能量和5×10¹⁵/cm²剂量的注入情况。在干摩擦和蒸馏水摩擦条件下,氧离子注入的UHMWPE的摩擦系数均高于未注入的UHMWPE。未注入的UHMWPE的磨损机制为粘着、犁削和塑性变形;注入后的UHMWPE的磨损机制为疲劳和磨粒磨损。
