Investigates erosion behavior in epoxy composites, highlighting oil content effects.
Erosion of material surface due to solid particles has been a challenge to several fields of engineering. Despite of decades of investigations and research, the exact phenomenon of erosion of surface by the solid particles has not been fully understood. In the present work, the solid particle erosion of epoxy glass fibre composites (Epoxy/GF) is investigated by sand blasting equipment. The impact angles (30°, 60°, and 90°), distance from the sand jet and oil content (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10) filling epoxy matrix are studied. The results show a strong dependency of oil content on the material behaviour form brittle to ductile. The morphology of eroded surface is observed under microscope and damage mechanisms are discussed.
