Abstract

Wear characteristics of jute/E-glass fiber with Al2O3 abrasive beads with air as media and at different impact angles and velocities have been studied. Erosion characteristics of jute/E-glass fiber reinforced polymer composites is experimentally investigated when machined by abrasive jet. Al₂O₃ abrasive beads of 50 μm are used in combination with air as media. The erosion quotes (ERs) of this composite has been evaluated at special impingent angles (30°, 450 and 60°) and effect velocities (30, 60 and 75 m/s). Put on Tester is used to degree erosion of such machined specimens. As an end result the composite proved to have outstanding anti-erosion houses. Also the affect of impact velocity on erosion charge become found at an indirect impact angle (45°) with 60 m/s at 1000C. The wear rate was anticipated to growth with boom in temperature for a steady particle speed and impingement. The effects confirmed that the wear losses range markedly as a function of the effect angles, and the most wear occurred at particular angles. Maximum put on happens at 30° at 75m/s for existing composites. Composites of jute/E-glass fiber could applications in variety of fields including roofs, window panels etc.
