Abstract
In this work an attempt has been made to analyze experimentally the wear rate of polymer composite made up of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin filled with aluminium powder. The wear behavior of the materials was described by experimentally obtaining the friction coefficients along with wear rates by using a pin-on-flat test apparatus for tribological applications. Firstly, the effects of operating variables such as load, speed were observed. The wear rate increased linearly as the load increased by keeping the speed constant and also the wear rate increased as the speed increased by keeping the load constant. Secondly, by the observations of the worn surfaces recorded by using microscope, basic wear mechanisms were observed and recorded as a function of fiber orientation.
