Abstract
Natural fibers are emerging as promising reinforcement material for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Numerous possible material combinations, unique self-lubrication capabilities and low operating noise make the FRP composites a potentially better material over conventional metallic materials for tribological applications In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted to determine the abrasive wear behaviour of Ipomoea carnea particulate reinforced epoxy composite. Studies were done by varying the load (5, 7.5,10 and 15 N) on 10 %, and 20 30 and 40 % weight fraction of fibers at different velocities. The worn surface morphology of the eroded surfaces wear examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
