Physico-mechanical and Taguchi-designed sliding wear properties of Himalayan agave fiber reinforced polyester composite
This research paper addresses the experimental investigation on physico-mechanical and Taguchi-designed sliding wear properties of novel Himalayan agave fiber (fiber's sizes of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm and fiber's loading of 5 wt.%, 7 wt.% and 9 wt.%) reinforced polyester composites. The tensile a...

This research paper addresses the experimental investigation on physico-mechanical and Taguchi-designed sliding wear properties of novel Himalayan agave fiber (fiber's sizes of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm and fiber's loading of 5 wt.%, 7 wt.% and 9 wt.%) reinforced polyester composites. The tensile and impact strength were observed to increase with increase in fiber's size and loading delivering maximum tensile of 25.43 MPa and impact strength of 45.55 J/m2 at fiber's size and loading of 7 mm and 9 wt.% respectively. The maximum flexural strength (47.02 MPa) and hardness (48.01 Hv) were achieved with polyester composites having 7 wt.% fiber loading at different fiber's size of 7 mm and 5 mm respectively. The sliding wear rate of composites was studied at different sliding velocity (1.5–4.5 m/s), fiber's size (0–7 mm), normal load (10–25 N), and sliding distance (500–2000 m) using Taguchi technique.
