Description
Summary:Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites have found new applications in variety of fields. Better combinations of light weight, superior wear resistance and amazing mechanical properties have ascribed to their employments in divergent engineering segments. Dry sliding wear characteristic of GFRP composite with various weight rate of silicon carbide (SiC) filler have been examined with this display work. The impact of sliding velocity and load applied on dry sliding wear characteristics has been examined in this work. The results shows that specific wear rate of silicon carbide loaded GFRP composites increases with respect to increase in velocity of sliding and the load applied. This helps us to create composite materials with progressed tribological properties.
