In this work, the characteristics of graphite/epoxy composites are estimated from a tribological perspective. Various weight percentages (0-7%) of graphite were used for adhesive wear experiments. The specific wear rate, friction coefficient, interface temperature and surface morphology of the composites were specified. Then the results were processed to obtain the optimum ratio in mixing the graphite with the epoxy. The main outcome of this work is to have established the significant effect of the fraction of weight of the graphite on the tribological achievement of the composites. Some intermediate weight percentage of the graphite in the epoxy composites is considered optimal for tribological achievement, since it significantly develops the resilience to wear and the frictional characteristics. Contrariwise, a higher amount of graphite in the composites (≥ 5%) has significantly negative effects on the tribological properties of the composites. Increasing the graphite content in the epoxy matrix has a positive effect on the interface temperature: the interface temperature went down as the graphite content rose. It was also clear that the higher the friction the higher the interface temperature. Regarding the surface roughness, the optimum graphite content in the epoxy composite was 3% in order to maintain low roughness surfaces for both the epoxy composites and the wear track of the stainless steel counterface.

在这项工作中，从摩擦学的角度估计了石墨/环氧复合材料的特性。各种重量百分比（0-7％）的石墨用于粘合剂磨损实验。规定了复合材料的比磨损率，摩擦系数，界面温度和表面形态。然后对结果进行处理，以获得将石墨与环氧树脂混合的最佳比例。这项工作的主要成果是确定石墨的重量分数对复合材料的摩擦学性能的显著作用。环氧复合材料中的一些中等重量百分比的石墨被认为是摩擦学最佳的选择，因为它显着提高了耐磨性和摩擦特性。相反，复合材料中较高的石墨含量（≥5％）会对复合材料的摩擦学性能产生明显的负面影响。增加环氧基质中的石墨含量对界面温度有积极影响：随着石墨含量的增加，界面温度下降。同样清楚的是，摩擦越大，界面温度越高。关于表面粗糙度，为了使环氧复合材料和不锈钢对接面的磨损痕迹都保持低粗糙度，环氧复合材料中的最佳石墨含量为3％。随着石墨含量的增加，界面温度下降。同样清楚的是，摩擦越大，界面温度越高。关于表面粗糙度，为了使环氧复合材料和不锈钢对接面的磨损痕迹都保持低粗糙度，环氧复合材料中的最佳石墨含量为3％。随着石墨含量的增加，界面温度下降。同样清楚的是，摩擦越大，界面温度越高。关于表面粗糙度，为了使环氧复合材料和不锈钢对接面的磨损痕迹都保持低粗糙度，环氧复合材料中的最佳石墨含量为3％。
