Study of Wear Behaviour of POM/Graphite and POM/MoS ₂ Composites 2017-28-1988

POM/Graphite and POM/MoS₂ composites were prepared using twin screw extruder for 2 and 6% compositions of fillers. The samples for impact test were prepared by injection moulding machine. The samples were studied for impact strength and wear loss. The wear test of the samples was carried out using pin on disc wear testing machine at various loads. Impact test of the samples was carried out by impact testing machine. The wear of the POM/MoS₂ composites decreased compared to POM/Graphite composites. The impact results revealed that significant improvement in the impact strength for graphite and MoS₂ fillers compared to pure POM. The microstructural study was conducted for wear samples to know the wear behavior of POM composites.
