Description
Summary:The original test results of abrasive wear resistance of different type of construction polymer materials were presented and discussed in this article. Tests were made on an adapted test stand (surface grinder for form and finish grinding). Test samples were made of different types of polymer board materials including RenShape®, Cibatool® and phenolic cotton laminated plastic laminate (TCF). An original methodology based on a grinding experimental set-up of abrasion wear resistance of polymer construction materials was presented. Equations describing relations between material type and wear resistance were presented and discussed. Micro and macro structures were investigated and used in wear resistance prediction.
