Abstract

Abstract The tribological behavior of the 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% cenosphere-filled epoxy syntactic foams in terms of the wear rate and the friction coefficient of the foams were reported using a pin on disc tribometer in the present study. The influence of the wear parameters like applied pressure, sliding speed, and the sliding distance on the tribological performance of syntactic foams was reported. Syntactic foams with 40% cenosphere volume fraction exhibit better tribological properties over the other syntactic foams. The worn surface examination shows the adhesive dominant wear mechanism and the wear debris with broken cenosphere particles.
