Abstract

Tribology is the branch of knowledge that gives important role in industry.Begins,with small appliances in our household such as washing machine,table fan until to huge machinery that relates towards friction and wear.The tribology give effects of overall efficiency of equipment as its relates on maintainability for specific machine. Hence,this shows vital findings to get suitable solution for lubrication in order to bring lower maintenance cost that cause from wear and tear parts.Nowadays,the industry is expected to use the material that’s friendly to environment.Besides,in order to reduce the pollution,the benefit of reduction cost from recycle usage of waste materials that’s may be considered as secondary source of material that’s high energy content that bring energetic advantages to industry.The waste material such as quarry dust is expected to bring good potential strength in reduce friction and wear.As for this paper,uses of quarry dust as to be new reinforcement substitutes in fabrication of polymer composites,which are supposed to bring zero waste strategy to improve tribological properties which bring benefit in reduction cost.The target of this study is to investigate the tribological performance of waste slurry powder reinforced Polypropylene (PP) under dry sliding conditions,and determine the wear mechanism when applied several load. The mechanism of material testing is using the pin on disk tribometer.The pin was shaped by compaction process of cylindrical mold to form pin sized of 30mm height and 10mm diameter.The composition were prepared using Polypropylene powder by 5%,10,and 20% that being reinforce from quarry dust (QD).Through this study,the collection of data towards the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate concludes that effect of 5% presence of quarry dust will result of perfect mixing of reinforcement that’s bring lower COF on various applied load.The findings shows the significant wear rate that reduce compared to other composition weightage that simulates under dry sliding condition.
