Abstract
Polyamide 6 matrix material was filled with multi -walled carbon nano tubes(MWCNT) and copper nano-particles reinforcements. The composition used for the investigation was PA6 and 0.25 wt% MWCNT with 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 wt% copper nano-particles. Sliding wear behaviour was studied in PA6 composites. A co-rotating twin screw extruder was used to blend the materials and the specimens were prepared using injection moulding. The process parameters were Load (N), Sliding speed (m/s) and Reinforcement (%). The experiment was conducted in a Pin on Disc apparatus. Taguchi and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyse the influence of process parameters on wear rate. Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to optimise the wear rate. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images on worn surfaces of PA6 composites were analysed and the type of wear was observed.
