The polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family of thermoplastics is increasingly used in engineering applications that require outstanding tribological properties. Considerable attention has thus been paid to their wear behavior in a number of environments. However, little focus has been given to PAEK response to fretting conditions. Fretting wear results from the repeated slip of mutually loaded contacts. In this study, a custom built multi-axis tribometer has been shown to replicate fretting of PAEK in a pin-on-flat configuration. The experimentation and analysis has provided new insights into this phenomenon.
