Abstract: Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) is the most prominent engineering thermoplastic consisting of repeating carbon-oxygen bonds in the form of oxymethylene groups (OCH2). It is widely used to make small gear wheels, ball bearings, precision parts, automotive and consumer electronics. In this study, the POM-C round blocks were irradiated with 165 KeV electron beam energy in five doses (100, 200, 300, 500 and 700 kGy) in vacuum condition at room temperature. The wear rate, surface hardness and morphological properties of electron beam dose irradiated POM-C blocks surfaces have been analyzed using pin on disk tribometer, optical microscopy, nano-indenter, Raman spectroscopy, 3D nano surface profiler and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electron beam irradiation transferred the wear phenomena of unirradiated POM-C s le from the abrasive wear (plough and cracks), adhesive wear (grooving/striation, micropitting) and scraping to mild scraping and striation for the 100 kGy dose irradiated POM-C s le due to cross-linking (macroscopic networks), chemical free radicals formations and partial physical modification (smoothness), which can be concluded from tribometer, optical microscopic, SEM and Raman spectroscopic observations. It also reduced the surface wear rate and average surface roughness with increasing microsurface hardness at threshold value of cross-linking among all unirradiated and others doses irradiated POM-C blocks. The level of tribological (wear and morphology) attribute improvement relies on the electron beam irradiation condition (energy and dose rate) depending on chemical and physical factors of polymeric materials.

Abstract: Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) round block was implanted with 120 KeV ions of He to doses of 5 x 1016 and 1 x 1016 ions cm-2. It was also implanted with 120 KeV ions of Ar + He and He + Ne to dose of 1 x 1016 ions cm-2, respectively. The friction coefficient behavior of both implanted and unimplanted POM-C blocks was investigated using a ball on disk tribometer mechanism. The friction coefficient of He ion implanted POM-C block at a dose of 5 x 1016 ions cm-2 is lowest compared to all unimplanted and others ions doses implanted POM-C blocks. It also shows the moderate surface texturing (atomic rearrangement), lower surface micro-hardness and average surface roughness compared to both unimplanted and other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks due to well adjusted carbonization, cross-linking and ions-target atoms collisions, which is ascertained from SEM-EDS, Raman spectroscopic and surface profiling observations. The other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks demonstrate the higher friction coefficient and surface roughness with polymer surface deformation (crazing, cracking, pitting and gas evolution, bond breaking) due to severe chain scission, surface dose delivered atomic displacements and chemical structural degradation. It is concluded that the variation in friction coefficient behavior of POM-C block resulted from its structural response for ion beam implantation on the top surface.
