Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the present case, the solid particle erosion characteristics of the cenosphere‐filled glass–jute (GJJG) hybrid epoxy composites have been studied experimentally. Jute with (45°−45°) and glass with (0−90°) fabric orientation have been used to fabricate the composites. Different doses of cenosphere particles (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were also added to the matrix material. A steady‐state erosion rate of these composites has been studied with various impingement angles (30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°) with different impact velocities (48, 70, and 82 m/s). The results indicate that 20 wt% filled cenosphere particles to (GJJG) hybrid epoxy composite exhibit better wear resistance. The maximum erosion at 45° and 60° impingement angles also indicates the semiductile behavior of the composite. The morphologies of the worn surfaces were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, and it was revealed that inclusion of higher weight percentage of cenosphere particles restricted the impact velocity to erode the surface. The increase in erosion resistance of the developed composites is the outcome of this result.
