“…Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites traditionally show poor wear resistance due to the brittle nature of the fibers. Many researchers have been reported on the effect of fiber, filler and matrix materials so far in the literature regarding economical and functional benefits to both consumers and industrial manufacturers (Budinski, 1997;Chand et al, 2000;Tripathy and Furey, 1993). The addition of hard particulate ceramic fillers not only improves the wear performance of the particulate filled polymer composites but also reduce the cost of the composites.…”

“…The tribological performance of composite material is usually related with the properties of their reinforcement [5]. One of the traditional concepts to improve the friction and wear behaviour of polymeric materials is to enhance their hardness, stiffness and their compressive strength and to reduce adhesion to the counterpart material [6][7][8][9]. Many investigations have shown that the incorporation of fiber reinforcement improved the wear resistance and reduced the coefficient of friction [10].…”

The three-body abrasive wear behaviour of carbon fabric reinforced epoxy (C-E) composites has been evaluated by the addition of graphite (G) particles as a secondary reinforcement. Three-body abrasive wear test were conducted using dry sand rubber wheel abrasion tester as per ASTM G-65 with three process parameters load, abrading distance and filler content. To assess the abrasive wear behaviour of particulate filled C-E composites satisfying multiple performance measure, grey-based Taguchi approach has been adopted. The experiments were designed according to Taguchi's orthogonal array (L 27 ). The grey relational analysis was applied to convert a multi response process optimization to a single response. Using analysis of variance, significant contributions of process parameters have been determined. The results indicate that the addition of graphite particles into C-E composite increased the wear resistance considerably. It was observed that highest wear resistance of C-E composite was achieved with incorporation of 10 wt% of graphite filler. Results indicate that the filler content and grit size of abrasive paper were found to be the most significant factor which has influence on the abrasive wear of C-E composite. The worn surface features were examined through scanning electron microscope to probe the wear mechanism.

“…Other than, limited studies have been concentrated on the characteristics of friction and wear of these materials [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Although generated surface temperature is another equally important parameter in studying the tribological behavior of polymer composite [7,8] , it is found that little attention has been paid to it.…”

“…For dry sliding contact, some researchers have been attempted to measure the surface temperature and investigate its roles on the tribological behavior of polymer composite [7,9,10,11,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . In measuring the surface temperature, they used an infrared fiber optic probe [10] , an imbedded or natural thermocouple [11] and an infrared microscope focused directly on the contact region [7] . Their studies indicated that in most polymer composite, the high stiffness and low thermal conductivity result in high temperature at the sliding contact during friction [7] .…”

Nowadays, there is an increase interest in polymeric composite materials for highperformance in many industrial applications. In other words, the tribo-studies on polymeric materials are growing fast to enhance the polymeric products such as bearings, seals, ring and bushes. The current work presents an attempt to study the correlation between the type of counterface material and frictional heating at the interface surfaces for different, normal loads (23N, 49N and 72N), sliding velocities (0.18, 1.3 and 5.2 m s¯1) and interval time (0-720 sec). Sliding friction experiments are performed on a pin-on-ring (POR) tribometer under dry contact condition. Interface temperature and friction force were measured simultaneously during sliding of glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite against three different counter face materials, hardened steel (HS), cast iron (CI) and Aluminum alloy (Al). Experimental results showed that the type of counterface material greatly influences both interface temperature and friction coefficient. Higher temperature and friction coefficient were evident when sliding took place against HS surface, compared to sliding against CI and Al under same condition. When sliding took place against HS, the friction coefficient of GFRE composite was about an order of magnitude higher than sliding the GFRE composite against the other counter face materials. Based on the optical microscope graphs, the friction and induced temperature results of GFRE composite are analyzed and discussed.
