Abstract

The current article discusses the effect of filling epoxy by continuous and aligned carbon fiber in addition to different kinds of oil (olive, corn, sunflower, glycerin and paraffin) on friction and wear. Each oil type was added with different concentrations (2, 5 and 10 wt. %) into epoxy beside constant concentration of carbon fiber, (4 wt. %). Wear tests were performed using pin-on-disk tester at constant load (6.5 N), constant running time (300 sec) and constant speed (0.93 m/sec). To explore the pertinent mechanisms, the worn surfaces of the tested specimens were analyzed via scanning electron microscope. The results reported that reinforcing epoxy by continuous and aligned carbon fiber has significantly affected the friction and wear properties. Furthermore, filling carbon/epoxy composites by vegetables and mineral oils has promoted the tribological properties.
