Abstract

This work aims to present a study on 3-Body abrasive wear behavior of ABS plastic on an indigenously developed 3-body abrasive wear tester. The 3-Body wheel abrasion test was carried out at 950 rpm test speed. The tests were carried out at 30N load by varying the abrading distance from 100 to 200m and also under varying moisture conditions, the abrasive grains of 300 and 425 microns were used for the abrasion wear test at dry and varying moisture conditions. Experimental results of abrasive wear tests revealed that wear of ABS plastic was sensitive to variations of abrading distance, varying moisture conditions, abrasive particle size. The results provided critical understanding on the impact of moisture on ABS strength and ductility.
