Friction characteristics of graphite and graphite-metal combinations at various temperaturesCharacteristics of the coefficient of friction of graphite and of graphitic combinations between 70 and 4000 degrees F are given. Graphite's good frictional quality is attributed to a gas film on surface platelets. Major factors investigated are, surface finish and ''wear in'', surface conditioning, temperature, and interfacial pressure.
