Investigation of Friction and Wear Behavior of Boron Carbide Reinforced Composite Materials

In this study, the usability of boron carbide as a reinforcement material in friction composites was investigated experimentally. Hence, composite samples containing different amounts of boron carbide (5%, 10% and 15%) were produced and compared with boron carbide-free sample. Friction and wear test...

description In this study, the usability of boron carbide as a reinforcement material in friction composites was investigated experimentally. Hence, composite samples containing different amounts of boron carbide (5%, 10% and 15%) were produced and compared with boron carbide-free sample. Friction and wear tests were determined by a full scale brake friction tester according to TS 555 and TS 9076 standards. The hardness of the samples was calculated by Rockwell hardness tester and the density was calculated according to Archimedes' principle. The results showed that boron carbide could be used as a reinforcement material in friction composites.
