Various parameters, such as type, size and velocity of erodent and impact angle, are important for the erosive wear behaviour of materials. In this work, the erosive wear behaviour of various polyamides (PAs), viz. PA 6, ...

The mechanical and tribological properties of various injection-moulded polyaryletherketones (PAEKs) and their composites are presented in this paper. The mechanical properties studied were tensile strength, tensile modulus, ...

A series of polyamides (PAs), namely, PA 6, PA 66, PA 66/610, PA 11, PA 12 and aromatic PA (brittle, hard and amorphous) was selected for investigating the effect of chemical structure and hence, mechanical properties on ...

The solid particle erosion behaviour of various polyaryletherketones (PAEKs) and their short fibre reinforced composites has been characterised. The erosion rates (ERs) of these composites have been evaluated at different ...

Single and multipass two-body and three-body abrasive wear behaviour of various polyaryletherketone composites have been carried out by using a pin-on-disc machine and a rubber wheel abrasion test (RWAT) rig. Abrasive wear ...

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the effect of reinforcement fibres, solid lubricants, mass of abrasives and load in three-body abrasive wear situations on various polyaryletherketone (PAEK) matrix. ...

The solid particle erosion behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites has been characterised. The erosion rates of these composites have been evaluated at different ...

The solid particle erosion behaviour of unidirectional carbon and glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites has been characterized. The erosive wear of these composites have been evaluated at different impingement angles ...

Polyamides (PAs) form a major class of tribo-polymers used in almost all types of wear situations. They excel most of the engineering polymers especially in the case of abrasive wear performance. Since methylene (---CH2---) ...

Polyethersulphone (PES), is an amorphous, brittle and high temperature engineering thermoplastic. Two composites of PES containing short glass fibres (GF) and solid lubricants viz. PTFE and MoS2; and two composites containing ...
