Investigation of the impact of abrasive action on surface roughness and worn mass of laminated composites

Abstract

This study thoroughly examined the impact of abrasive action on the surface roughness and mass loss of laminated composites produced using the wet lay-up method. Surface roughness measurements conducted in both the transverse and longitudinal directions before and after treatment with P3000 grit sandpaper revealed a significant increase in roughness, along with minimal mass loss. Considering the characteristics of the epoxy resin used, the results indicate a high wear resistance of the laminated composites, which is crucial for obtaining aesthetically appealing components.
