Abstract: The polymeric matrix Composite Materials is widely used for automotive and aeronautical industry applications due to its superior properties. The tribological properties of the Carbon Epoxy Composites with 5% of silane treated SiC and 10% of silane treated SiC which were added separately and it has been investigated experimentally by the dry sliding wear test using the Pin-on-Disc type wear test rig. The main parameters Sliding Speed (S), Applied Load (L) and Sliding Distance (D) which were considered for the experimental investigation and evaluated the dry sliding wear characteristics of composites. Under increased levels of loads and sliding velocity conditions higher wear loss was noted. The coefficient of friction values from the result shown that the increased value with addition in load and also sliding velocity. It results was compared that the Carbon Epoxy Composites containing ST - SiC Fillers having lower Coefficient of Friction than plain Carbon Epoxy Composites. From the observations maximum wear resistance were found and discussed.
