Abstract

In this study, an experimental investigation was carried out to study the effect of TiO₂ filled Glass epoxy composites in air-jet erosive situations. Erosive studies were carried out using an air jet erosion test rig. Silica sand particles of size ranging from 212-250 μm were used as abrasives. It observed that the inclusion of TiO₂ filler enhances the erosion resistance of the Glass-Epoxy composites. The worn out surfaces were analysed using scanning electron microscope.
