Description

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SLIDING ELEMENTS HAVING HIGH WEAR-PROOF AND LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
DESCRIPTION
The present invention addresses a sliding element having high wear resistance and low coefficient of friction for use in structural engineering, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Particularly, the invention relates to a highly wear resistant sliding element for use in the building industry as a friction sliding element in civil works, such as bridge bearings, seismic energy dissipators and joints.
For simplicity, the present description is given without limitation with particular reference to bridge bearings, for instance subjected to heavy load conditions, such as bridges for high speed railway line sections or bridges subjected to particularly intense traffic conditions.
Civil structures of the above mentioned type are known to be designed and constructed in such a manner as to allow limited relative movements between structure parts. This allows the structure to adapt to different seismic or other load stresses, and to limit the maximum stress value within the structure. Such movements generally include sliding or pivotal movements between two or more structure parts, sliding or hinged connections being provided in the structure to allow such movements.
These connections generally comprise a pair of flat or curved surfaces susceptible of sliding/pivoting relative to each other to allow such relative displacements and/or pivotal movements to occur. To minimize both static and dynamic friction between the parts, a first surface of such pair of surfaces is made of steel, such as an austenitic steel, and the other surface is conveniently made from an engineering polymer, a lubricant such as a silicone fat being possibly used between the sliding surfaces.
The requirement to be met is that at least one of the contact surfaces is made from a material that: has a low coefficient of static and dynamic friction, to facilitate slipping, sliding and/or rotation between the parts, while meeting the peculiar technical requirements for this specific use. In this respect, the engineering polymer shall also have at least a high or long-lasting resistance to compressive loads and wear in a temperature range from -2O0C to +4O0C.
In accordance with currently applicable standards, such as the European Standard EN 1337/2, "Sliding elements", the material that is commonly used in prior art for sliding elements is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).
Now, the need is strongly felt for an engineering polymer having better properties than PTFE for this specific application. Amongst various materials, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been proposed, having a molecular weight of 3 x xlO6 g/mol e 6xlO6 g/mol. Such materials provide better results than PTFE but cannot meet particularly stringent requirements yet.
The invention is based on the issue of conceiving a highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering that has such structural and functional features as to meet the above requirements, while considerably improving the performance of the sliding element in the various conditions of use as compared with prior art sliding elements, especially in particularly heavy conditions.
This issue is addressed by a highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering according to the features of claim 1.
Further features and advantages of the highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering of the present invention will be apparent upon reading the following description of a few preferred embodiments thereof, which is given by way of illustration and without limitation.
According to the invention the highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering comprises at least one sliding surface made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Advantageously, the molecular weight of such ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is at least 6.5x106 g/mol, as an average detectable value.
The molecular weight of such ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is preferably higher than 8 x 106 g/mol, at least 9 x 106 g/mol and, more preferably from 9.I x IO6 g/mol to 9.6 x 106 g/mol.
In order to improve the structural or behavior properties of the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWEPE), a few additives to be incorporated in such high molecular weight polyethylene and particular treatments for such polyethylene will be mentioned below.
Advantageously, the above mentioned ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) comprises aluminum powder or aluminum compounds to further improve the wear resistance of the sliding surface of the sliding element.
Advantageously, such ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) comprises additives for increasing the creep resistance of the sliding surface of the sliding element. These additives preferably include talc and/or calcium stearate.
Advantageously, the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) comprises antioxidants for increasing the oxidation resistance of the sliding surface of the sliding element.
Advantageously, such ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) comprises heat stabilizers for preserving mechanical properties such as toughness and strength of the sliding surface of the sliding element under high temperatures.
Advantageously, the above mentioned ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) comprises mixtures of fluoropolymers to provide a further reduction of the coefficients of friction in the sliding surface of the sliding element. These mixtures of fluoropolymers preferably have a 60% fluorine content by weight.
Advantageously, the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) may be crosslinked through gamma or beta radiation at high radiation doses, above 40 kGy and below 1000 kGy, possibly followed by a stabilization treatment for reactive free radical scavenging, which is a thermal treatment preferably conducted at a temperature above the melting point.
Advantageously, the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) may be crosslinked through addition of crosslinking agents and free-radical initiators, such as peroxides, followed by a stabilization treatment for scavenging reactive free radicals and reducing the likelihood of oxidation, which is effected by a thermal treatment preferably conducted at a temperature above the melting point.
Particularly, crosslinking induced by radiation or free-radical initiators increases the molecular weight of polyethylene by forming intermolecular bonds, which can modify the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the polymer. Such crosslinking particularly causes an increase in wear resistance and mechanical stability of the material (creep reduction).
Chemical crosslinking is more effective in limiting the loss of toughness and elongation at break that can occur in certain cases after radiation crosslinking.
In case of radiation crosslinking, stabilizers and/or antioxidants are advantageously incorporated in the polymer during compounding before radiation, to scavenge the free radicals produced by gamma radiation treatment. After the above mentioned radiation crosslinking treatment, the sliding element is advantageously subjected to a heat treatment adapted to reduce or eliminate free radicals from the crosslinked polyethylene, to provide oxidation resistance and preserve mechanical properties with time.
Particularly, the semifinished or finished sliding element may be conveniently held in an oven for more than one hour and at such a temperature as to cause the polyethylene structure to soften, e.g. a temperature from 135°C to 1500C By this arrangement, the free radicals will be almost fully scavenged, although certain mechanical properties, such as toughness and elongation at break will be affected.
However, the semifinished or finished sliding element may be conveniently held in an oven for more than one hour and at a temperature below the softening point of the polyethylene, e.g. a temperature from HO0C to 1350C. This will reduce degradation of the above mentioned mechanical properties (toughness and elongation at break), while dramatically decreasing the free radical content therein.
As a mere example, a ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suitable for this specific application among those commercially available is the one sold by Rochling under the trade name Polystone® X-Slide M, which has the following properties:
- A UHMWPE having a molecular weight of 9.2 x 106 g/mol; added with fluoropolymers to improve its sliding behavior and reduce friction; added with antioxidants to increase stability and inertness to oxygen.
In addition, the properties of Polystone® X-Slide M polyethylene are improved by the crosslinking process and following thermal treatment as described above.
Experimental tests showed that a ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) having a molecular weight of at least 6.5 x 106 g/mol causes, over the sliding surface of the sliding element, a considerable increase of:
- sliding wear resistance, which affords higher sliding speeds, and
- mechanical strength and toughness at high temperatures.
As disclosed above, if a particularly high wear resistance is desired, the base material may be filled with aluminum microspheres and powder or aluminum compounds.
For further improvement of the outstanding sliding and wear resistance properties of the UHMWPE material, the sliding element may be initially lubricated with a silicone lubricant and the sliding surface of the sliding element may have a plurality of surface cells for containing and holding lubricants even under mutual sliding of the surfaces.
The sliding elements may be provided in any conformation, such as skids, caps, belts and guides.
In the highly wear resistant sliding element of the invention, the sliding surface made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE):
- has an ultimate compressive strength up to 190 MPa;
- allows a sliding length of at least 5 x 104 m when lubricant is contained in the above mentioned surface cells;
- withstands a sliding speed of 15 mm/s when lubricant is contained in the above mentioned surface cells;
- has lower coefficients of friction as compared with PTFE;
- has a high or long-lasting resistance to compressive loads and wear in a temperature range from -50°C to +6O0C;
- has a substantially constant thermal expansion coefficient, involving an increased dimensional stability, as temperature changes.
It will be appreciated from the above that the highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering according to the present invention meets the above requirements, while considerably improving the performance of the sliding element in the various conditions of use as compared with prior art sliding elements.
Those skilled in the art will obviously appreciate that a number of changes and variants may be made to the highly wear resistant sliding element for use in structural engineering as described hereinbefore, without departure from the scope of the invention, as defined in the following claims.
