Sliding wear behaviour of combined chemically modified Sansevieria and Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (TSria/CF-E) and its multi-phase nanocomposite coupons has been carried out by Taguchi design of experiments. A Taguchi L16 orthogonal array and ANOVA were used to examine the consequence of tribo-system parameters on the tribological behaviour of hybrid TSria/CF-E composites filled with nano-CaCO3 and nano-SiC. The specific wear rate was calculated for each experiment for nano-CaCO3 and nano-SiC multi-phase composites. The normal load was found to have the highest significant influence of 42.15 % on the SWR of the nano-CaCO3 composite, whereas in case of the nano-SiC filled composites, the filler loading was found to have the highest significance of 62.34 % on the SWR. The improvement in the wear resistance was attributed to high strength, high hardness, and good dispersion of nano-SiC particles, which can enhance the interfacial bonding of nanofiller and the epoxy matrix. The lowest specific wear rate of composite was 0.06 × 10 -4 mm 3 /N m. Examination of the worn micrographs of the confirmation experiment shown adhesive and abrasive wear as the prevailing mechanisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
