Wear properties of nanoclay modified basalt fibre composites under dry adhesive sliding, two-body abrasive, and slurry pot erosive

This paper reports the effect of 1.0 wt%, 3.0 wt% and 5.0 nanoclay loadings on specific wear rate properties basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites. The BFRP composites were analyzed at three different conditions, i.e., dry adhesive sliding, two-body abrasion, slurry pot erosion in which slide against smooth steel, rough silicon carbide, medium-coarse sand mixture, respectively. operating parameters for tests set 30 N load, 300 rpm speed, 10 km distance. results demonstrated that addition effectively enhanced erosive In properties, containing up to (EP/BF/5NC) marked 31.73% improvement when compared pure system, whereas, under condition, reduced by 51.12% was added EP/BF. As content increases, exhibited as indicated reduction resistance. contrast, incorporation deteriorated abrasive BFRP. rates increased, example, about 101.94% morphology worn surfaces evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study behavior nano clay modified It concluded significant influence depending environment condition.
