In this investigation, the influence of sliding speed and load values on the friction and wear behaviour of carbon fiber filled polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were studied. Friction and wear tests of PA 6 polymer and PA6 polymer composites versus 1040 steel were carried out at dry condition on a pin-on-disc arrangement. Tribological tests were performed at room temperature at different loads (10-40N) and sliding speeds (0.4–1.2 m/s). The results showed that, for all polymers used in this investigation, the coefficient of friction increases linearly with the increase in load and sliding speed. The specific wear rate for PA6 composites were in the order of 10−10 mm3/Nm. The most important parameter affecting the wear rate of PA6 polymer composites was determined to be the sliding speed.
