Composite journal bearings are becoming more popular now a day because they eliminate the possibility of seizure failure to the bearings. The major drawback of the metal bearings is the seizure failure. This failure is depends upon friction and lubricant used. To overcome this problem, the composite journal bearings are widely used by the industries. Hence, this paper presents the wear behaviour of Biaxial glass fiber reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) composite using sea water as lubricant. 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 hybrid composite is better than that of the glass fiber. 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 materials were comparatively investigated under actual loading, sliding distances and time frame to configure best suitable bearing materials. The hybrid composite are proven for clean functioning and shows remarkable life. © 2015 Sphinx Knowledge House. All rights reserved.
