Purpose – This study aims to examine solid particle erosion behavior of novel hybrid composite materials where borax (B2O3) particles (∼150 μm) were added to glass fabric and epoxy resin at an amount of 15 and 30 per cent. Design/methodology/approach – The tests that involved slightly rounded and irregular Al2O3 particles having two erodent sizes (200, 400 μm) were conducted at these operational conditions; namely, three impact velocities (23, 34, 53 m/s), two fabric directions (0/90/0, 45/−45/45) and three impingement angles (30°, 60°, 90°). In addition, the design of experiments, which utilizes Taguchi’s robust orthogonal arrays approach, was used and an optimum parameter combination was established, which had a minimum erosion rate. Moreover, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction views show the visual effect of filler material. Findings – All test specimens regardless of their dissimilar characteristics displayed maximum erosion rate at 30° impingement angle. Test specimens with 45/−45/45 fabric direction are more wear-resistant than their counterparts with 0/90/0 fabric direction. The erosion wear of glass fabric reinforced epoxy (GF/EP) composites whose matrix had 15 per cent addition of borax particles was higher than that of neat GF/EP composites. In addition, new composite material formed by including borax particles at a rate of 30 per cent of resin leads to a reduction in erosion rates. Originality/value – While fabric-reinforced polymers take place in most of the studies conducted on erosive wear of composites, studies involving erosion on composites with filler materials can hardly be encountered.

This work is carried out to find out the erosion wear characteristics of unfilled and also SiC nanopowder filled flax and sisal fabric hybrid composites (FSHC). Effect of different parameters such as filler content, impingement angle and erodent size on the erosion wear behavior of hybrid composite has been studied using Taguchi method. Significant control factors altering the erosion rate have been evaluated through outstanding execution ANOVA. The experimental outcomes are recognized to be in acceptable accord with the assumptive values. This study indicates that erosion wear resistance increases as SiC nanopowder increases in FSHC


In this research work the mechanical and erosion wear behavior of E-Glass fiber reinforced epoxy based hybrid composites were determined. Fillers like coal fly ash (CFA), Coal powder (CP) and mixture of coal fly ash and coal powder (CFA-CP) at different weight proportions of 0wt%, 5wt% and 10wt% were mixed with Epoxy Resin and composites were fabricated by manual hand lay-up technique with 50wt% of Glass Fiber as reinforcement and the prepared composites were cut in to specimens as per ASTM standards for mechanical characterizations like tensile, flexural, ILSS, Impact and Hardness properties and erosion wear behavior. Experimental analysis shows that the tensile strength of unfilled Epoxy-Glass composites is maximum (252.189MPa) where as for 10wt% coal fly ash filled epoxy-glass composites tensile modulus is maximum (7.823 GPA). The flexural strength and ILSS are 750.54 MPa and 25.188 MPa respectively for 10 wt% CP filled hybrid composites. The impact strength and hardness are 2100 J/m and 62Hv for 10wt% CFA-CP filled epoxy composites. Coming to erosion wear behavior of composites filled with CFA-CP have exhibited maximum erosion wear resistance when compared with CFA filled epoxy composites. It is observed that with the increase in weight percentages of the filler material. The mechanical properties and erosion wear resistance of the composites were enhanced. Hence, for structural applications filler materials mixed Glass- Epoxy hybrid composites can be used in place of plain glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites due to the enhanced properties of composites.

AA2218–Al2O3(TiO2) composites are synthesized by stirring 2, 5, and 7 wt % of 1:2 mixture of Al2O3:TiO2 powders in molten AA2218 alloy. T61 heat-treated composites characterized for microstructure and hardness. Dry sliding wear tests conducted on pin-on-disk setup at available loads 4.91–13.24 N, sliding speed of 1.26 m/s up to sliding distance of 3770 m. Stir cast AA2218 alloy (unreinforced, 0 wt % composite) wears quickly by adhesion, following Archard's law. Aged alloy exhibits lesser wear rate than unaged (solutionized). Mathematical relationship between wear rate and load proposed for solutionized and peak aged alloy. Volume loss in wear increases linearly with sliding distance but drops with the increase in particle wt % at a given load, attributed to the increase in hardness due to matrix reinforcement. Minimum wear rate is recorded in 5 wt % composite due to increased particles retention, lesser porosity, and uniform particle distribution. In composites, wear phenomenon is complex, combination of adhesive and abrasive wear which includes the effect of shear rate, due to sliding action in composite, and abrasive effect (three body wear) of particles. General mathematical relationship for wear rate of T61 aged composite as a function of particle wt % load is suggested. Fe content on worn surface increases with the increase in particle content and counterface temperature increases with the increase in load. Coefficient of friction decreases with particle addition but increases in 7 wt % composite due to change in microstructure.
