Abstract

This research investigates the erosion wear behavior of polyester resin composites materials reinforced with 4% volume fraction carbon fiber and (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) volume fraction Al2O3 powder. These specimens were fabricated by hand lay-up technique. Erosion wear behavior was studied at different variables, angle impingement (30º, 60º, 90º), with dry silica sand particles size (350, 425, 600 µm) at 10 hours, stand-off distance (17cm), and flow rate (35L ∕min). In this research, erosion testing was carried out according to ASTM G76 and studied the effect of parameters on erosion wear rate by using Taguchi orthogonal arrays L9. The results indicate that the specimen (UP+4%C.F+8% Al2O3) has high value of true density than other specimens. Also, the specimen (UP+4%C.F+8% Al2O3) has (0.00011 cm3/gm) better erosion rate resistance at variables (425 µm, 30º ) as compared to other composite materials. The ANOVE analysis showed that filler content factor (Al2O3) powder has more effect on erosion rate than other factors.
