Abstract
Abstract The present work deals with the three body abrasive wear behavior of sansevieria cylindrica fiber (SCF) and E-glass fiber (EGF) reinforced polyester resin (PR) composites. A dry sand rubber wheel (DSRW) test set up was used to test the three-body abrasive wear behavior of composites. Composites fabrication and testing were performed as per ASTM G65-04 standards. The composites were fabricated by varying the weight percentage (wt.-%) of SCF and EGF. The DSRW test was conducted by varying the sliding distance, 1000 m and 2000 m, and the applied load, 24 N and 36 N, at a constant speed of 200 rpm. The worn out surfaces of the composites were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the mass loss, volume loss and the specific wear rate of the composites were determined. The wt.-% 30 SCF, wt.-% 20 EGF, wt.-% 50 PR composites revealed a better wear resistance as compared with all other combinations.
