Abstract
Erosive wear tests were carried out to study the effects of particle, impingement angle and particle velocity on the solid particle erosion behaviour of E-glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin (GFRP) composites. The erosive wear of wheat flour powder filled composites is evaluated at different impingement angles from 30° to 90° and at three different velocities of 24, 35 and 52 m s −1. The erodent used is silica sand with the size range 150–250 μm of irregular shapes. The result shows erosive wear rates of GFRP composite with 2 g wheat flour, as filler is the lowest. This restricts fiber-matrix debonding. Pure glass epoxy without any filler shows the highest erosion rate due to weak bonding strength. The morphologies of eroded surface were examined by the scanning electron microscope.
