Abstract
All the industries are mostly affected by the financial loss due to the Tribological problem. Especially, when slurry particles pass through pipes and pumps, erosion occurs in tidal turbine blades. The surface erosion is increased on interaction with seawater. In this work, epoxy composite reinforced with Kevlar fiber was prepared using VARTM technique and tested for erosive wear characterization using slurry jet erosion tester. The parameters for erosive wear test were taken as fiber content, impact velocity, slurry concentration, and impingement angle. The fiber content was varied as 52, 55, and 58 wt%. The result was analyzed by the Taguchi Design of Experiments. The finding of result indicated that the wear rate of epoxy composite reinforced with different fiber contents was minimum at the impact velocity of 30 m/s, slurry concentration 160 gm/min, impingement angle of 60°, and fiber content of 55 wt%.
