Initial research of epoxy and polyester warp laminates testing on abrasive wear used in car sheathing

The subject of the work is to present the preliminary investigations over epoxy and polyester warp laminates and its abrasion. The exploitation of various types of containers used in industry is often connected with its usage of composite materials. The composite materials are exposed to tribological wear. Basing on reality and the common tribology wear hazard testing on abrasive wear of composite materials is well-founded and significant in technical and technological point of view. The results of the experimental part of the work are only the substitute of the widely presented researches over composite materials used in the structure of the side of the freight wagons. There are presented the results of the laminates, performed in the laboratory conditions depicting the real work conditions of freight wagons. There were compared the exemplified parameters of the geometrical profile of the structure mass losses of the investigated samples, both the epoxy and polyester and other used hardeners.
