Abstract

Low cost high specific strength epoxy LY 556 and alumina nano filler is utilized in current research for developing a epoxy composite. A liquid dispersion method was adopted for fabricating epoxy alumina composite having 0.50 wt% of alumina reinforcement. For uniform and homogenous dispersion of reinforcement, ultra-sonification of 120 W is adopted. To study the effect of particle behavior, unfilled epoxy and 0.5 wt.% cylindrical alumina oxide filled epoxy composite were used. The cylindrical-shaped alumina oxide with a diameter in the range of 5–10 nm and length of less than equal to 50 nm was used. Dry sliding wear experiment on the pin–on–disc was performed to evaluate friction and sliding wear performance of unfilled epoxy and epoxy filled by cylindrical-shaped filler in short term and long term. In the present investigation, 2000 m distance (short term) and 4000 m distance (long term) were the sliding distance opted. The applied forces are 20 N and 30 N is applied during testing and velocity of sliding is 1.26 m/sec is taken as same throughout the experiment. As load enhanced there is a decrement in coefficient of friction, stable transfer film may be the reason for the same. Maximum decrease in COF is at low sliding distance of 2000 m at 30 N applied load is 60%.

Keywords: Friction, Epoxy composite, Cylindrical shaped alumina oxide, Dry sliding wear, Coefficient of friction.
