Abstract
Silicon carbide (SiC) hybridization's effect on improvising the full potential of polymer composites has been presented. The tribological characteristics (sliding wear and erosive wear) of the SiC filler and SiC-filled glass fiber-reinforced hybrid composites were obtained. The influences of filler content, external load and sliding velocity on the sliding wear behavior of the prepared composites were measured. The solid particle erosive wear test was performed as per ASTM standard, and the influence of im**ement angles as well as filler content on the erosive wear of the composites was studied. From the study, it can be understood that 30% of each constituent, i.e., SiC filler and SiC/woven glass fiber, provide the optimum tribological (both sliding and erosive wear) properties. The microscopic analysis revealed that micro-crack propagation is the prevalent mode of deformation mechanisms observed during the sliding wear test of the samples. Furthermore, during erosion fragmentation of the matrix phase, the formation of micro-craters and grooves is perceived on the worn-out composite surface.
