Weight loss and friction coefficient prediction models for polyamide-6 (PA-6) composites filler with 0,5 and 10 wt.%
wollastonite (W) particles was developed using Taguchi method by considering the parameters of sliding speed,
applied load and filler ratio. The wear behavior of the specimen was investigated using pin-on-disc arrangement where
the samples sliding against a AISI 4140 steel disk under different conditions. The wear tests were realized at the sliding
speeds of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ms-1 and under the loads of 6, 10, and 20 N. The obtained weight loss for with 5 and 10 wt.%
wollastonite (W) particles PA-6 composites are lower than pure PA-6 weight loss under the same test conditions. The
orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to study the optimal
testing parameters on composite samples. The estimated S/N ratio using the optimal testing parameters for specific wear
rate were calculated and a good agreement was observed between the predicted and actual weight loss for a confidence
level of 90%.
