Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Kevlar fabric composites have been widely used for their good tribological properties in dry friction, especially in the extreme condition. In this study, the tribological properties of PTFE/Kevlar fabric composites under overloading conditions (240-330 MPa) were studied showing the friction coefficient about 0.086 and the wear rate of approximately 0.1 mm/h. A double-layer transfer membrane was formed by tribol tests. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were conducted to reveal the formation and wear mechanism of it. This new investigation of double-layer transfer membrane has significant impact with great potential in a wide range of engineering applications such as heavy loading machinery equipment and aerospace industry.
