Abrasive Wear of Fibre-Metal Composites Based on Fibreglass Woven Fabric Layer

Abstract:

The tested specimens are fibre-metal laminates. The samples are made as a connection between a metal sheet plate and a fibreglass laminate. Epoxy resins or polyester resins were applied in matrix of the composite. In this paper the exemplary results of testing on abrasion of composites with the fibreglass laminate plate were presented. Thanks to the results it is possible to estimate and compare the surface quality of the samples together with the joint of the fibreglass laminate. In assumed testing group of laminates, it is also possible to compare the impact of different basis weight of fabrics on the level of abrasive wear. The most proper material properties such as a type of connection or basis weight of applied laminate fabric were defined. In order to determine the degree of abrasive wear of tested samples and evaluate the testing results the methodology of research was assumed as: abrasive test and the visual valuation, measurement of mass decrement, measurement of geometrical structure of the composite's profile on the side of laminate. Taking into consideration the results of testing the weighed and calculated mass losses of the particular samples were compared. The measurements were taken in accordance with the EN ISO 12947-3:1998 norm.
