Modelling, Analysis and Wear Test of Carbon Fiber with Sansevieria Trifasciata Fiber Reinforced Polymer Hybrid Composite

Abstract

A pin-on-disk wear testing machine was used to analysis wear properties. The specimen pin was rotated against a hardened and polished carbon steel disk EN35. All tests were conducted at room temperature. During the test, the wear, coefficient of friction and friction force was recorded with plotter. Pin on disc wear test used for wear testing and friction tabulated the data of frictional force and Coefficient of friction, sliding distance.

We conducted Wear test for the specimens which is having different percentages of C.F. and S.T. The percentages of C.F. & S.T.F. The Wear test was conducted at 500 rpm and 700 rpm speeds. In each speed we have taken load of 15 N. In this wear test, properties like sliding distance (mm), frictional force (MPa), pressure contact (MPa) and temperature (⁰C) were observed and tabulated. The optimal fiber length is 60 mm, and the ideal fiber weight percentage is 50% Epoxy + 30% CF + 20% STF% wt and 50% Epoxy + 35% CF + 15% STF% wt. The results are given in Ansys was used to analyse the wear properties.
