Abstract

Composite material replaces conventional material like metal, wood, etc due to its lightweight, high strength to weight ratio and stiffness properties. Fiber-reinforced composites are mainly used in aircraft structures, reaction vessels, pressure vessels, Electrical insulators and many other industrial applications due to their preferable specific stiffness and strength properties. The main drawbacks of GFRP composite laminates are that they are sensitive to vulnerable environmental influences and subsequently lose their properties. GFRP composites are unable to withstand high wear and high corrosive environments and cannot sufficiently prevent electromechanical force from destroying. A Series of industrial practices has been used for GFRP composite damage protection. Nevertheless, only very few of them deal with tribological behavior of composite laminates. This project aims at a simple and low cost method with multiple technical benefits. The tests will be conducted on plate-type GFRP composite specimens with quasi-isotropic laminates. The composites were prepared in 3 different ratios of carbon which are 6%, 9%, 12%. The tribological properties and mechanical properties of composite are tested on the prepared specimens.
