Abstract
The waste resulting from construction and demolition process increased greatly in the last few decades resulting in the highest percentage of wastes. Using waste to produce artificial abrasives be one of the options to preserve the nonrenewable materials and minimize cost. In this study, the waste of building brick and glazed ceramic tiles were used to develop a bonding abrasive in form of the particulate composite using epoxy resin as a matrix. The waste of the two materials was crushed to obtain grits of 150, 300, 1200 μm sizes. Hardness and wear rate were investigated for the abrasive composite specimens which carried out under different conditions that emulate the abrasives working conditions, i.e., the heat results from friction causing post cure to the polymer beside the effect of coolant. The highest hardness results along with low wear are shown by glazed ceramic tiles waste. It can be concluding that each of the post-cure and room temperature conditions gives the best results for both materials whilst the post-cure and immersion together possess the poorest results.
