Implication

Experimental study demonstrates distinct friction and wear behaviors across inorganic fillers in glass-epoxy composites, indicating trade-offs between lubricity and surface durability.

Key Points

Evaluate the effects of silicon carbide and graphite particulate fillers on the friction and dry slide wear behavior of glass-fabric-reinforced epoxy composite systems.
Tested unfilled, silicon carbide-filled, and graphite-filled glass-epoxy specimens using a pin-on-disc wear apparatus across varying normal loads and sliding velocities under dry conditions.
Characterized worn surface morphology, fiber breakage, debris generation, and interfacial debonding using scanning electron microscopy.
Wear loss and friction coefficients increased across all composite systems with higher normal loads and sliding velocities.
Graphite-filled composites achieved the lowest coefficient of friction under all sliding conditions, whereas silicon carbide-filled composites exhibited the highest overall wear resistance.
Electron microscopy demonstrated matrix degradation, reinforcing fiber fracture, debris accumulation, and interfacial separation in unfilled and graphite-filled composites.
