Abrasive particle-induced erosive wear of polymeric engineering components is a major industrial issue. The research of solid particle erosion characteristics of polymeric composites becomes essential due to operational needs in dusty conditions. Nonwovens are now employed in industrial applications for polymeric composites. Nonwoven products are made from a wide range of raw materials, ranging from synthetic to natural fibers. This work finding the effect of nonwoven cotton fiber (5, 10, and 15 wt.%) loading on the physical, mechanical, and erosion wear of fixed wooden dust (4 wt.%) filled hybrid epoxy composites. Experimental results reveal improved impact strength, hardness, and compressive and tensile strength with an increment of fiber loading from 5–15 wt.%. The density of the composites was found to increase, whereas void content decreases with an increase in cotton fiber. The erosion wear of the composites has been studied using an L27 orthogonal array to assess the effects of various parameters such as fiber loading, erodent size, impact velocity, impingement angle, and stand-off distance. The erosion wear increased with impact velocity and remained highest for 60° of impingement angle. The most significant parameter affecting the erosion wear was determined as impact velocity followed by impingement angle. Surface morphologies of eroded samples reveal the fiber pull-out, and fiber breakage was the prominent phenomenon for the erosion wear of the evaluated composites.

Particle Erosion

Solid particle erosion-wear behavior under different working conditions was simulated by FEM. A three-dimensional finite element model of erosion-wear of solid particle was established, and Johnson-Cook material model and failure criterion were adopted to define the mechanical property of sample material. The process of spherical particle impacting 45 steel from different angles and under different impact velocity was simulated, respectively. Material deformation and strain condition were analyzed .The relationship between erosion-wear degree , impact angle and impact velocity was investigated. The results showed that, maximum plastic strain occurs on the surface of material when impacting from low angle and on subsurface while vertical impacting. The wear degree of material increases until reach the peak value at 40° and deformation volume increases with the vertical impact velocity，and there is significant accumulation of material around pit.

The Impact

Solid particle erosion-wear experiments on as-prepared mullite-SiC composite refractories by nitriding reactive sintering were performed at elevated temperatures, using sharp black SiC abrasive particles at an impact speed of 50 m/s and the impact angle of 90° in the air atmosphere. The effects of silicon powder addition and erosion temperature on the erosion-wear resistance of mullite-SiC composite refractories were studied. The test results reveal that Si powders caused nitriding reaction to formβ-sialon whiskers in the matrix of mullite-SiC composite refractories. The erosion-wear resistance of mullite-SiC composite refractories was improved with the increase of silicon powder addition and erosion temperature, and the minimum volume erosion rate was under the condition of 12% silicon added and a temperature of 1400°C. The major erosion-wear mechanisms of mullite-SiC composite refractories were brittle erosion at the erosion temperature from room temperature to 1000°C and then plastic deformation from 1200°C to 1400°C.

Abstract In internal flows, solid particles carried by the fluid could damage pipelines and fittings. Particles that are entrained in the fluid can cross streamlines and transfer a part of their momentum to the internal surface by impacts and cause local wall material degradation. Over the past decades, a wide range of models is introduced to predict particle erosion which includes empirical models, mechanistic models, and CFD which is currently the state-of-art numerical approach to simulate the erosion process. Multiphase flow under annular flow conditions adds to the complexity of the model. Although with the current computational capabilities transient CFD models are effectively applicable, this type of transient multiphase approach is not practical yet for engineering prediction of erosion especially for the large diameter applications with huge computational domains. Therefore, the presented combined approach could be utilized to obtain erosion rates for large diameter cases. Thus, an approach combining CFD and mechanistic multiphase models characterizing annular flow is developed to predict solid particle erosion. Different factors including film thickness in pipes and fittings which are affecting erosion under gas-dominated multiphase flow conditions are investigated. The results from the current approach are compared to experimental data and transient CFD simulations for annular flow in elbows showing a very good agreement with both.

A36 Steel

PurposeThis paper aims to perform the solid particle erosion studies in simulated coal-fired boiler conditions with a view to compare the erosion behavior of two different types of detonation gun (D-Gun) sprayed cermet coating powders, that is, WC-12%Co and Cr3C2-25%NiCr on ASTM A36 steel and bare (uncoated) ASTM A36 steel.Design/methodology/approachErosion studies were performed using an air jet erosion test rig at impingement angles of 45°, 60° and 90°. During the erosion studies weight loss, erosion rates in terms of volume loss (mm3/g) and measurement of erosion profiles were determined using optical profilometer.FindingsBoth cermet coatings had successfully protected the ASTM A36 steel from erosion at impingement angles of 45°, 60° and 90°. In the case of bare ASTM A36 steel, the erosion rates were maximal at an impingement angle of 45° and minimal at an impingement angle of 90°, thus depicting the peculiar erosion behavior of ductile materials. WC-12%Co coated specimens exhibited erosion behavior that is closer to the behavior of ductile materials. Cr3C2-25%NiCr coated specimens exhibited the maximum erosion rate at an impingement angle of 90° and minimum at an impingement angle of 45°, hence depicting the typical behavior of brittle materials.Practical implicationsIt is expected that these results will contribute to the improvement of erosion resistance of induced draft fans, by the application of D-Gun sprayed WC-12%Co and Cr3C2-25%NiCr cermet coatings.Originality/valueThis paper evaluates the solid particle erosion behavior of bare and cermet-coated ASTM A36 steel which will be helpful in choosing the suitable cermet coating for induced draft fan applications.

Cause Of Failure

Solid particle erosion is a micromechanical process that removes material from the surface. Erosion is a leading cause of failure in fluid handling equipment such as pumps and pipes. An investigation was conducted using an S-bend geometry with 12.7 mm inside diameter, r/D ratio of 1.5 with three different air velocities and two different particle sizes. This paper presents the preliminary results of an investigation to determine the location of erosion for a wide range of conditions. The experimental results showed the location of maximum erosion at 29–42 deg from the inlet at 45.72 m/s air velocity with 300 μm particle sizes.

The present investigation reports about the solid particle erosion behavior of randomly oriented short date palm leaf (DPL) fiber-reinforced polyvinyl pyrrolidone composites. The erosion rates of these composites have been evaluated at different impingement angles (15–90°) and impact velocities (48–109 m/s). The neat polyvinyl pyrrolidone shows maximum erosion rate at 30° impingement angle, whereas, PVA/DPL composites exhibit maximum erosion rate at 45° impingement angle irrespective of fiber loading showing semi-ductile behavior. Erosion efficiency ( η) values (2.83–15.29%) indicate micro-ploughing and micro-cutting as dominant wear mechanisms. The morphology of eroded surfaces was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Possible erosion mechanisms are discussed.
