Özet

The solid particle erosive wear performance of basalt fiber-reinforced epoxy composites with the incorporation of different percentages of milled carbon fiber fillers (0-10 wt%) is evaluated under various abrasive materials (garnet and ceramic beads) and impingement angles (30 degrees and 90 degrees). Erosion tests have been carried out following ASTM G76 standards using a factorial design method. The data indicate that the erosion rates, crater depths, and areas of craters are all strongly dependent on erodent material type and milled carbon fiber filler ratio. Compared to ceramic beads, garnet abrasives caused severe erosion, with erosion rates reaching approximately 500 mg/g at a 90 degrees impingement angle without milled carbon fiber fillers. Erosion by both abrasives was significantly reduced by the introduction of milled carbon fiber fillers into the basalt fiber composites, with the erosion rate decreasing to around 100 mg/g with 3 wt% milled carbon fiber fillers. The maximum crater depth was also influenced; garnet abrasives produced craters as deep as 1000 mu m without fillers at 90 degrees, which was reduced to 451 mu m with 3 wt% milled carbon fiber fillers when ceramic beads were used. Of the three factors for the erosion rate and crater depth, inorganic erodent material and ratio of carbon fiber filler were prominent, but the impingement angle effect was much smaller. Among the three factors for the erosion rate and crater depth, erodent material and carbon fiber filler ratio were prominent, while the impingement angle effect was significantly less.Highlights The garnet abrasives cause more severe erosion than ceramic beads at 90 degrees. Composites exhibit optimal erosion resistance with 3-5 wt% milled carbon fiber fillers. Filler ratio and erodent material type significantly impact erosion rates and depths. Factors affecting wear performance identified using factorial design and ANOVA. Comparative evaluation of solid particle erosion resistance in milled carbon fiber reinforced basalt fiber epoxy composites; effect of abrasive shape variations on the damage mechanism. image
