RESUMO

The friction and wear properties of AISI 1045 steel, nylon 6.6 composites with different types and percentages of reinforcement and a nitrile rubber, Alpha 66, were submitted to sliding wear tests. The five types of nylon 6.6 composites tested generated matching, low values for the coefficient of friction. This may be due to the greater influence of the nylon 6.6 matrix on the coefficient of friction. However, the wear in nylon composites showed wide variation, determined by the type of reinforcement added to the composite. The other two materials tested, nitrile rubber and 1045 steel, showed behavior different from that of the composites. The NBR (signifying a norm established by the Brazilian Association of Technical Norms) rubber showed a superior coefficient of friction and greater wear. On the other hand, the steel showed a high coefficient of friction and low wear, suggesting that the coefficient of friction has no direct connection to the wear resistance of the materials studied here.
