Abstract

This paper presents a review of the reported research works that are related to the solid particle erosion behavior of polymers and polymeric composites. Attention is paid to the effects of test parameters such as erodent type, size of the erodent, impingement angle, impact velocity and stand of distance. on the erosion wear rate of polymer composites. Various predictions and models proposed by different authors to describe and quantify the erosion rate are mentioned and their suitability is checked. Recent findings on the erosion response of multi-component hybrid composites are also presented. Lastly the implementation of design of experiments and statistical techniques in making the parametric appraisal of the erosion process of composites is discussed.
