Now-a-days, natural fibers have been receiving considerable attention as the substitute for synthetic fiber reinforcement such as glass in plastics. Among various fibers, coir is most widely used natural fiber due to its advantages like easy availability, low cost, low density, low production cost and satisfactory mechanical properties. The objective of the present research work is to study the wear behavior of banana-basalt fibre. Four different samples with constant filler content of 10 wt% were prepared by varying the length of the fiber (3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm and 15 mm) and content of fibre using hand lay-up technique. The erosion wear of these composites have been evaluated at different impingement angle (135°, 45°) and at different impact velocities. The effect of fiber length and content on the wear properties of composites is also analyzed. Moreover, L18 orthogonal array have been formed for the load of 5N and 10N with the sliding velocity of 0.5m/s,1m/s and 1.5m/s along with sliding friction of 269m,359m and 449m. From the test results it was observed that wear rate increases by increasing the load. It is also noted that co-efficient of friction increases by increasing the load It has been
