Fibre reinforced polymeric materials have been widely used due to their superior properties, low density, and manufacturing flexibility. Numerous applications have been allocated for these materials in aerospace and automotive industries such as gears, seals, bearings, cams etc. In order that these components satisfactorily perform under loading conditions, they should have good mechanical, tribological and machining properties. In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to study the dry sand abrasive wear behavior of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites with and without MoS2 filler. From the experimental result, it is very clear that MoS2 filled composites showed optimum results when compared with unfilled one. Key words: MoS2, Dry sand abrasion tester, carbon fiber, epoxy
