In this study, polymer composites were manufactured with epoxy-based resin and wastes as a mineral additive. The wastes including a high content of silica (Silica fume, glass and fly ash) powder were used as fillers for an epoxy adhesive to improve its wear resistance properties. They were supplemented to mixes in various ratios via substituting the resin from 0 to 20% by weight. Tests of wear rate and hardness were conducted upon all-polymer composites at all fillers ratios. Results indicated that the epoxy hardness increased with increasing the filler addition. Consequently, the addition of wastes that include silica raised the wear resistance of polymer composites; nevertheless, it caused the composites harder materials. The wear rate decreased with increasing the silica fume, glass, and fly ash addition. In the case of fly ash addition, the minimum wear rate was at 15%, and after this percentage, the wear rate increased. However, in the case of glass addition, the minimum wear rate was at 10%, and after this percentage, the wear rate increased.

Space exploitation and development need high-performance polymer based tribo-materials in order to reduce the weight and improve the reliability of mechanical moving components. However, the wear resistance of polymer composites will decrease after space irradiation. In order to improve the anti-irradiation and wear resistance, the high performance polyimide (PI) composites reinforced with aramid fibers (AF), filled with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Al2O3were designed and prepared using hot press sintering. The effect of the individual atomic oxygen or proton irradiation as well as both on the tribological properties of the PI composites were systematically investigated against Si3N4 ball on a ball-on-disk test rig under simulating space environment system, and coefficient of friction and wear rate were considered as responses. The worn surfaces of the composites were observed by scanning electrical microscopy to reveal wear mechanisms of the materials’ damage. Experimental results indicated that the wear rate of the PTFE/AF/PI greatly increased after atomic oxygen and proton irradiation due to oxidation degradation effect on the polymer matrix. However, filling Al2O3 nano-particles into polyimide matrix can improve the wear resistance because of oxidation layer, gradually formulated during the process of atomic oxygen irradiation, which can protect the polymer composites and avoid further oxidation. This study will expect to provide the helpful guidance for designing high performance polymer based frictional materials in the application of space science.

Construction materials are increasingly on high demand in the developing world. The construction industry has a challenge of discovering, new  alternative construction materials to conventional materials which are locally available materials in environmentally friendly manner. The  experimental tests are conducted on volcanic concrete system to analyze its properties especially corrosion resistance potential for its applicability in construction. The major aim is to investigate its suitability and corrosion resistance potential especially when used in construction of structures with embedded steel. The test results of the material show that volcanic concrete system with 30% fly ash and 10% silica fume cementing materials is an alternative green construction material. Permeability properties are reduced by 8% and 24% with 30% fly ash and 10% silica fume respectively. Tests also indicate that Compressive strength, Corrosion potential and polarization resistance in volcanic concrete system with supplementing  cement materials has more potential to resist sulfate attack when compared with conventional volcanic concrete systems. The supplementary cementing materials (SCM) reduce the pore system and hence decrease the ingress of corrosive ions an  water in concrete. Corrosive ions, moisture and air would initiate corrosion to the embedded steel in concrete leading to reduced service life such structures. Key word: Supplementary Cementing Materials, Sulfate attack, volcanic concrete system, Granite powder, river sand, Corrosion of embedded steel

Brick is the former construction material, a standard-sized non load bearing building component. The ancient bricks manufactured by clay, earth or mud. By 2007 the new ‘fly-ash’ brick made up of cement and flyash which is reliable, weather & acid resistant. The cement is a hugely used building material and liberates CO2 leading to pollution. To minimize pollution and a step to advancement in sustainable development. The current research results to geo polymer brick, where the cement is replaced with GGBS, silica fume and Kadapa slab dust. For bonding, polymers were used with limited water content. Hence produced brick is a hybrid geo polymer brick with multi material combination. Fly ash 75%- GGBS 25% as a base material. GGBS is partially replaced with silica fume and Kadapa slab dust by 2 to 5%. Evaluated through compressive strength results in which we found three optimum proportions such as FA 75%-GGBS22%-SF3% & 75% FA-22% GGBS -3% KSP

The present work focusses on improving the surface wear resistance of commerical pure copper by reinforcing tungsten particles through friction stir processing. Particularly this work adopts Taguchi’s experimental design to achieve minimum wear rate for Copper-Tungsten surface composite by optimizing the process parameters. The rotational and traverse speeds of tool and volume fraction of reinforcement (i.e. tungsten) are the chosen parameters for minimizing the wear rate. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used to design the experiments. The surfaces of the processed specimens were investigated by optical microscopy for the distribution of tungsten particles and sliding wear behavior was studied by conducting pin-on-disc method. It was observed from the optical micrographs that the reinforcement evenly dispersed in the processed zone. The measured hardness was 85% higher than the base metal for the specimen exhibited minimum wear rate. The effects of all three parameters on wear rate were studied. The minimum wear rate was achieved by using rotational and traverse speeds of tool, 1200rpm and 60mm/min, respectively. The amount of reinforcement required to achieve maximum wear resistance was 10%. Variance analysis showed that amount of reinforcement played a key role in determining the properties than the other parameters. Keywords: Cu-W composite, high strength high conductivity alloy, friction stir processing, Taguchi optimization

The relevance of the search for solutions to increase the wear resistance of bucket teeth of excavating machine type front shovel is analyzed. The reasons for the wear of the teeth are considered. It is determined that when excavating machines work for rocks of VIII and IX categories, impact-abrasive wear of the inner side of the teeth and abrasive external wear occurs. It is proved that the cold-work hardening of Hadfield steel (the teeth material), which occurs during the excavating machine teeth work in the rocks of VIII and IX categories, reduces the impact-abrasive wear rate on the inner side of the teeth and does not affect the abrasive wear of the outer. The methods for thermomechanical treatment of the outer side of the excavating machine tooth is proposed. It can increase the wear resistance of Hadfield steel (110G13L) up to 1.7 times and lead to the self-sharpening effect of the tooth due to equalization of the wear rate of the outer and inner parts of the tooth. The efficiency factor of thermomechanical treatment to reduce the of abrasive wear rate of Hadfield steel is experimentally proved.
