Abstract
This paper presents the wear behaviour of Biaxial glass fiber reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) composite. The test specimens are prepared and tested as per ASTM standard. The experiments are conducted by using a pin on disc wear tester. The results indicated that the wear resistance of the 15% hybrid composite is better than that of the 5% composite. The fracture surface of composites shows the ductile tear ridges and cracked SiC and Al2O3 particles indicating both ductile and brittle fracture mechanism. In this study, different combinations based composite bearing materials were comparatively investigated under actual loading, sliding distances and time frame to configure best suitable bearing materials. Composite bearing are proven for clean functioning and show remarkable life. © 2015, International Journal of ChemTech Research. All right reserved.
