Three-Body Abrasive Wear Behaviour of Polymer Matrix Composites Filled with SiC Particles

摘要

Effect of filler material on three-body abrasive wear behaviour of Glass - Epoxy composites has been investigated. The abrading distance, applied load and sliding speed are the parameters used for the study. A L9 orthogonal array and ANOVA were used to identify the contribution of individual parameters. The result shows that the weight loss increases with increase in load, sliding speed and abrading distance. The abrading distance has more effect on the wear compared to other parameters. The filler material (SiC) contributes a significant wear resistance of the G-E composites.
