Abstract

This article reports the fabrication and investigation of sliding wear properties of Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag reinforced epoxy composites. Hand lay-up technique is used for composite fabrication. LD slag is varied from 0 to 30% by weight and sliding wear tests are performed. The sliding wear performance of these composites is evaluated at various sliding velocities and normal loads. It is found that the incorporation of increased LD slag content resulted in significant enhancement in sliding wear resistance. This work also shows that LD slag content and sliding velocity are the most influencing factors as far as the minimization of specific wear rate is concerned.
