In the present study, friction coefficient and wear rate of polytetrafluoroethylene (commerciallyknown as teflon) and nylon sliding against mild steel are investigated experimentally. In order to do so, a pinon disc apparatus is designed and fabricated. Experiments are carried out when smooth or rou...
