This research article presents the comparative investigation of physical, mechanical, and abrasive wear behavior of chopped glass and basalt fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites. The composites were fabricated by hand lay‐up technique. The fiber (glass and basalt) was varied in the range of 10 to 40 wt.% in the composite at an interval of 10 wt.% to find out the physical (density and void content), mechanical (tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength), and steady state abrasive wear rate, respectively. The Taguchi's design of experiment method was used for designing of experimental runs having input controlling variables like sliding distance, normal load, fiber content, and abrasive size. This study clearly demonstrated that with increase the fiber content, the density and void content of both fiber (glass and basalt) reinforced composite were increased. The basalt fiber‐reinforced composites show lesser voids than glass fiber‐reinforced composites. The tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength of both composites increased with increase the fiber content whereas glass fiber‐reinforced composites show slightly lower tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength than basalt fiber‐reinforced composites. However, as far as basalt fiber‐reinforced composites show better wear resistance than glass fiber‐reinforced composites.

玻璃和玄武岩纤维增强环氧复合材料的机械和三体磨料磨损行为分析

这篇研究文章对碎玻璃和玄武岩纤维增强环氧复合材料的物理，机械和磨料磨损行为进行了比较研究。复合材料是通过手工铺层技术制造的。纤维（玻璃和玄武岩）在复合材料中以10 wt。％的间隔在10至40 wt。％的范围内变化，以找出物理（密度和空隙含量），机械（拉伸强度，弯曲强度，和冲击强度）和稳态磨料磨损率。Taguchi的实验方法设计用于设计具有输入控制变量（如滑动距离，法向载荷，纤维含量和磨料尺寸）的实验运行。这项研究清楚地表明，随着纤维含量的增加，纤维（玻璃和玄武岩）增强复合材料的密度和孔隙率均增加。玄武岩纤维增强复合材料比玻璃纤维增​​强复合材料具有更少的空隙。两种复合材料的拉伸强度，弯曲强度和冲击强度均随纤维含量的增加而增加，而玻璃纤维增​​强复合材料的拉伸强度，抗弯强度和冲击强度比玄武岩纤维增强复合材料略低。但是，就玄武岩纤维增强复合材料而言，其耐磨性优于玻璃纤维增​​强复合材料。两种复合材料的冲击强度随纤维含量的增加而增加，而玻璃纤维增​​强的复合材料的抗拉强度，挠曲强度和冲击强度则比玄武岩纤维增强的复合材料略低。但是，就玄武岩纤维增强复合材料而言，其耐磨性优于玻璃纤维增​​强复合材料。两种复合材料的冲击强度随纤维含量的增加而增加，而玻璃纤维增​​强的复合材料的抗拉强度，挠曲强度和冲击强度则比玄武岩纤维增强的复合材料略低。但是，就玄武岩纤维增强复合材料而言，其耐磨性优于玻璃纤维增​​强复合材料。
