Analyzes friction and wear in epoxy reinforced with iron nano particles, indicating improved performance.
Epoxy-Iron composite specimens were prepared by adding different weight fractions of iron nano particles (0, 10, 15, and 20 wt. %) to the epoxy matrix. Friction and wear testing as well as hardness testing were conducted on the specimens. The coefficients of friction of the produced materials were determined unreinforced epoxy showed the highest coefficient of friction, while epoxy composite with 15 wt. % Fe showed the lowest coefficients of friction. Hardness of the produced composite measured using the shore D hardness increased as more Fe particles were added to the epoxy. Topography of the specimens after wear testing was examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The SEM observation showed good agreement with the wear testing results.
