Abstract
Environment is being polluted day by day due to intensive use of synthetic fiber as reinforcement for polymer composite. The researchers, engineers and scientists are showing their interest in natural fiber as reinforcement in place of synthetic fiber due to its green nature. In this work, short sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites were manufactured by hand lay-up method at 30% wt. of fiber loading and fiber length used was 10 mm. The parameters taken were load, speed and sliding distance. Load was taken as 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 N, Sliding speed as 1 m/s, 2 m/s and 3 m/s and Sliding distance as 1000 m, 2000 m and 3000 m. The wear properties (specific wear rate and coefficient of friction) of prepared composites are carried out. All tests are performed as per ASTM standard. On increasing the load, sliding velocity and sliding distance, the specific wear rate is found to increase whereas value of coefficient of friction decrease.
