Mechanical and Tribological Behavior of Woven Sisal Fabric

Abstract

A study has been carried out to investigate the Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Woven Sisal Fabric. Two Plain fabrics were prepared by changing gram per unit area (GSM), and one weft rib fabric is prepared to understand the effect of woven structure on mechanical and wear properties. These fabrics textile properties were determined as per textile ASTM standards. The tensile properties of these fabrics were studied in both warp and weft directions. Further, pilling resistance, abrasion resistance and wear properties of these fabrics were studied using L27 Taguchi Orthogonal Array. The tensile properties were found to be better in weft direction as compared to warp direction in all type of fabrics. The pilling resistances were found better in weft rib fabrics. The abrasion resistance is exhibited better at higher GSM. From the results, it also reveals that higher the crimp value more the resistance against adhesion wear using Pin on disk method. More the yarn linear density more the resistance for adhesion wear. However, the wear load, woven pattern and traveling distance have a significant impact on weight loss and frictional force.

Experimental Investigation on the Performance of Different Cutting Fluids on Cutting Force During Turning of Duplex Stainless Steel-2205 under MQL Technique

“…Soluble oil gives better results compared with Palm oil. Kuram et al [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] studied the three different vegetable-based cutting fluids refined sunflower oil and two commercial types (vegetable and mineral-based cutting oils) is used to determine for thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel. The uses of vegetable cutting oils were investigated to reduce thrust force and improve surface finish at different spindle speeds and feed rates.…”

Study the Impact of Drilling Process Parameters on Natural Fiber Reinforced Herringbone Epoxy Composites

“…In recent times, composite materials have gained a lot of recognition because of their superior properties due to which they find their application in a number of fields [1,2]. They are additionally utilized in hardware, building development, furniture, control industry, oil industry, restorative industry and in numerous other mechanical items, for example, oxygen tanks, control transmission shafts and so on [3,4].…”
