A test program to determine the tribological properties of several self-lubricating composites was performed. Testing was done using an LFWD-1 Friction and Wear machine. Each material was tested at four load levels (66 N, 133 N, 266 N, and 400 N) under ambient conditions. The coefficient of friction and wear rate was determined for each material, and a relative ranking of the composites was made.
