Abstract
The effects of Carbon fiber content and wear condition on the tribological properties of the composites were measured using a block on ring wear tester. The worn surface was investigated with a scanning electronic microscope and the wear mechanism was proposed. It was found that Carbon fiber improved the wear resistance of monomer casting polyamide 6 with the optimal content of Carbon being approximately 5 vol.%. The wear of PA6/Carbon fiber composite was lower than that of the PA6 and increased slowly while its friction coefficient decreased gradually with load. However, the friction coefficient of the composite was somewhat larger than that of monomer casting polyamide 6.
