Abstract Polyetherimide composite is one of the most non-flexible and lightest composite materials which is difficult to machine by conventional machining process. This material has widespread applications in mechanical engineering, industries, etc. Polyetherimide composite has excellent properties of high-temperature stability, specific stiffness performance, high durability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high conductivity and self-lubrication. In the present investigation, 24-layered structured matrix was constructed and properties such as hardness and quality of carbon-fabricated composite structure using dry sliding method have been examined. Further, to testify its applicability in aviation and automobile industry the simulations were illustrated to comment on its mechanical strength. There is a reduction in coefficient of friction by 66.67% noticed at 70 N load, which is associated with surface modifications from frictional heating. Further, to examine and evaluate material’s stress and strain strengths a set of simulations were carried out with a maximum von Mises stress of 2145.4 GPa on ANSYS Workbench 18.1. Finally, it has been concluded that as the layers of the carbon fiber content increase, hardness along with wear resistance of

reinforced carbon fiber for polyetherimide composites increases. Keywords Carbon fiber CFRP Composite Material properties Corrosion resistance Simulation
Introduction Nowadays, varieties of advanced materials are available with superior properties which have a wide range of industrial applications. Machining of these materials is helpful in providing various productive solutions. Various technologies nowadays have been introduced to improve machining process such as drilling, cutting, gridding, lapping, electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes and ultrasonic machining processes which add upon the application availability of the composite. Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetherimide matrix mixtures are widely used in different structural applications in both commercial and aviation industries [1–3]. Carbon fiberreinforced polyetherimide matrix is prepared by an internal interaction of carbon fibers and polyetherimide. CFRP is comprised of carbon fibers and polymer in which carbon fibers are enclosed within polymer matrix. Further, carbon fibers significantly support the load and po
