Hello, I was hoping someone could lead me to information regarding what I believe is called "homogenous wear". It's the tendancy for a material rubbing up against a component of the same material to wear and chafe faster than if two different materials were wearing. This is most common in polymers, I believe. In our case, it has to do with teflon hoses.
I learned about this in college, briefly, while working on a friction project. The TA mentioned it in passing, and it hasn't come up again until now, so I don;t even know how accurate this information is. A cursory survey has turned up nothing.
We are looking for alternative solutions, but we would like something for our records.
Thank you so much for your help.
