Solid Particle Erosion Wear of GF/EP Composites with Added Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}
- Selcuk University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Konya (Turkey)
This study has targeted to investigate wear behavior of a sort of new composite material where Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}({approx_equal}150 {mu}m) particles were added to glass fiber and epoxy resin (GF/EP) at an amount of 15% and 30%. The method used in the tests, was the one that use dry and compressed air to accelerate abrasive particles onto a specimen and from there the wear formed was investigated. Striking speed was determined with the help of a double disc method by making use of pressure difference, whereas impinging angles were set by turning the specimen holder around its axis. As a result, in this experimental study, solid particle erosion behavior of a new formed composite material was investigated and erosion rates computed where three different impinging angles (30 deg., 60 deg. and 90 deg.), three different striking speeds (23, 34 and 53 m/s) and two different fiber directions (0 deg. and 45 deg.) were used to enable angular aluminum abrasives with average diameter of 400 {mu}m to bombard target specimens to undertake the tests. In addition, the study presents microscopic views of the specimens after undergoing the tests.
