Abstract
The two-body abrasive wear behavior of Glass–Epoxy (G–E) composites has been evaluated by the addition of Titanium carbide (TiC) as a secondary reinforcement using pin-on disc equipment at an applied load of 5, 10 and 15N for various sliding distances (25, 50,75m) with 400 grit water proof Silicon Carbide (SiC) abrasive paper. By using Box- Behnken design the significant controlling factors and the interactions influencing the weight loss of the composites are identified. The results indicate that the addition of TiC in G-E composite increases the wear resistance considerably. It was found that highest wear resistance of G-E composite was achieved by the addition of 2wt. % TiC in particulate form. The presence of different wear mechanisms were analyzed and supported by SEM-micrographic examinations.
