INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF PARTICLE REINFORCED COMPOSITE PLATES

In this study, the mechanical and tribological properties of unidirectional glass fiber/polyester resin carbon fiber / polyester composite materials reinforced with boron particles have been investigated by experimental methods. Composite sheets were produced hand lay-up method using mixed boroxide (H3BO3) a specific gravity 1.51 g/cm3 molecular weight 61.83 g/mol, which utilized as particles. As particle reinforcement, 1%, 5% 10% oxide mixture was obtained. The effects reinforcement on investigated. result studies, it determined that, due to increase in ratio, wear resistance increased between ratios 50% some samples compared not tensile strength improved up 32% samples.
