Purpose: Determination of fibre reinforcement influence on wear rate and wear mechanisms were examined. Moreover, effect of fibre orientation and specimen pressure on the counterpart were analyzed. Design/methodology/approach: Composite materials based on 2024 and 7075 aluminium alloys were reinforced with 10-20 vol. % of alumina Saffil fibres and additionally choosen specimens with graphite fibres. Wear tests were carried out on pin-on-disc device where the specimens were pressed to the cast iron counterpart with forces corresponding to pressures of 0.8, 1.2 and 1.5 MPa. Findings: Wear mass loss for composite materials reinforced only with Saffil Al₂O₃ fibres decreased with increase of fibre content in the matrix. The largest wear rate in relation to the unreinforced alloy exhibited composites containing 20 vol. % of Saffil Al₂O₃ fibres, tested under the largest applied pressure of 1.5 MPa. The graphite fibres enhance the wear resistance of composite materials under all applied pressures. The lubricant medium originated form worn graphite fibres prevented composite from seizure and adhesive wear. Research limitations/implications: Fragmented alumina fibres acting as loose debris can enhance the wear rate both composite and iron counterpart. At high volume of graphite fibres produced preform possess low strength caused by weak joints between fibres. Practical implications: Composite 2024 and 7075 materials reinforced with hybrid preforms produced from alumina and graphite fibres exhibit good wear resistance. Originality/value: Manufactured composite materials will be considered as the friction materials for the high duty brakes.
