Investigation of tribological behaviour and wear analysis on fiberglass composite materials under dry and lubricating conditions

The tribological behavior of graphite (glass fiber) and silicon carbide (SiC) (glass fiber) composites is the main topic of this paper’s examination of recent and significant research trends in composite materials. The study analyzes wear characteristics with different applied loads in both dry sliding and oil lubrication conditions using a pin-on-disc the layout. The investigation shows that the load and velocity of the samples have an impact on wear rates and friction coefficients. According to experimental findings, oil-lubricated sliding has a lower wear rate and coefficient of friction than dry sliding. The study also reveals that, as compared to fiberglass without fillers, the use of graphite fillers in fiberglass composites dramatically reduces wear. The purpose of this study is to offer useful data for subsequent research on hybrid composite material wear analysis.
