Abstract

This paper presents a review of the reported research investigations 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 discussed and their suitability is checked. Recent findings on the erosion response of multi-component hybrid composites are also presented. Lastly the implementation of the design of experiments and statistical techniques in making a parametric appraisal of the erosion processes of composites is discussed.
