Abstract
The frictional and wear characteristics of polymer materials and their composites, particularly bearing materials, are studied in this paper. The study was achieved by inspecting a wide range of process parameters such as load, sliding distance, and sliding velocity. Optimization of experimentation was done using the Taguchi approach. The experimentation work was carried out on a Pin-on-disc machine. The ANOVA method was used to analyze the experimental results, which were then represented using tables and graphs. The wear analysis of the composite PTFE was studied with the help of Signal-to-Noise ratio and multiple regression analysis, which strongly indicates that the wear of a polymer material is greatly influenced by blending filler materials.
