Abstract

The friction and wear behaviour of E-Glass fiber reinforced Polyester composite interfaced with filler has been examined. In this study, prepared composites were tested under varying load co at constant sliding velocity and sliding distance by using a pin-on-disc type wear testing technique/apparatus. The influence of graphite filler on the wear and friction behaviour of E-glass fiber reinforced polyester composites under dry sliding condition has been investigated. It was observed that graphite filled composite shows less wear rate compared to unfilled composite and wear rate increases with increasing in the graphite percentage in the composition of the composite. Experimental results also revealed that the coefficient of friction (COF) for the graphite filled composite is high as compared to unfilled composite was it continuously decreases with increasing in the load.
