The friction and wear properties in vacuum for the γ‐ray irradiated PTFE coatings were measured. The effects of radiation dose, sliding velocity and load on the friction coefficient and wear loss of PTFE coatings were studied. The worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the friction coefficient decreased after γ‐ray irradiation and varied little with the irradiation dose. The friction coefficient firstly increased and then decreased with increasing sliding velocity, while it firstly decreased and then increased with increasing load. The wear loss rises after γ‐ray irradiation and decreases with increasing the irradiation dose if the irradiation dose is less than When the irradiation dose reaches the wear loss is lower than that of pristine, not irradiated coating. The wear loss is firstly decreased and then slightly increased with increasing velocity and load under the irradiation dose of It is shown by SEM that there are cracks on the worn surface.
