| Abstract: | Polyester composites reinforced with three different weight fractions of woven E-glass
fiber reinforcement are developed. To study the effect of various operational and material parameters
on erosive wear behavior of these composites in an interacting environment, erosion test are carried
out. For this purpose, an air jet type erosion test rig and the design of experiments approach utilizing
Taguchi’s orthogonal arrays are used. The findings of the experiments indicate that erodent size, fiber
loading, impingement angle and impact velocity are the significant factors in a declining sequence
affecting the wear rate. Significance of erosion efficiency in identifying the wear mechanism is
highlighted. It is confirmed that the glass-reinforced-polyester composites exhibit mostly semi-ductile
erosion response. An optimal parameter combination is determined, which leads to minimization of
erosion rate. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed on the measured data and signal to nois... |
