Experimental study of Wear Rate Behavior for Composite Materials under Hygrothermal Effect

Abstract

Abstract The behavior of wear for composite materials with effect of hygrothermal was investigated experimentally. The pin-on-disc wear rig was manufacturing. The wear parameters, distance, humidity, applied load, temperature, and speed on the wear behavior was investigated. These composite materials consist of (fiberglass and polyester resin), with (40%) volume fraction. The results give the increasing of humidity and, or temperature causes increasing in glass-fiber/polyester composite’s wear. Also, increasing the load, distance and sliding speed, will be led to an increase in the wear of glass fiber/polyester.
