Abstract
Polymer-based composites are extensively used in various applications such as bearings, cams, gears, clutches, etc. due to their enhanced mechanical properties and light weight. These materials are subjected to friction and wear conditions. Hence, there is a need to study the dry wear properties of these materials. This investigation highlights the dry sliding wear properties of glass/carbon reinforced hybrid composites. In this article, three body abrasive wear properties of these composites are investigated with different operating conditions (composite hardness, sliding distance and applied load). The Box- Behnken Design of Experiment was used to conduct the experiments. A polynomial mathematical model was developed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to optimize the various experimental parameters to minimize the wear rate of hybrid composite. The predicted input parameters are [CGGCG]S composite, 1150m sliding distance and 33.08N applied load. In addition to that the predicted results found a close agreement with the experimental one.
