Friction and Wear Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide Composites

The aim of this study is the experimental investigate of wear and friction properties of polyphenylene sulfide polymer (PPS) and 20%, 30% and 40% by weight glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide composites. Tribological tests were done by pin-on-disc test configuration. The disc material is AISI 1040 steel. 50, 100, 200 N normal loads and 1, 2, 3 m/s speeds were applied to the test specimens. Adding fiber decreased the friction values and specific wear rates. Furthermore, increasing load decreased the friction coefficient but increased the specific wear rate, although increasing sliding speed increased both friction and specific wear rate.
