Abstract

In this study, two different composite pipes manufactured with filament winding technique in [±55]4 winding configurations were investigated by considering the erosive behaviour of the inner surface of the pipe which may be subjected to erosive wear in substructure and material transfer applications where may be worn because of material flow. The solid particle erosion behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced composite pipe (BETKB) and basalt fibre reinforced composite pipes reinforced with 0.25 wt % graphene nanoplatelets (GNP/BETKB) were compared by considering the results obtained from the experiments. When evaluating the erosion rate resulting from impacting alumina abrasive particles on the inner surface of a pipe at various impact velocities (namely 23 m/s, 28 m/s, 34 m/s, and 53 m/s) and impingement angles (30, 45, 60), it was observed that graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement increased the resistance to erosive wear in basalt fibre-reinforced pipes. As indicated by the graphs, which also analyse the proportional change in erosion rate, the graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement achieved an erosion rate reduction of almost 50% at the impact velocity of 28 m/s. It was observed that the wear model of both pipes showed a behaviour suitable for the semi-ductile wear model.

Grafen Nanoplaka Katkılı Bazalt Elyaf Takviyeli Kompozit Boruların İç Yüzey Erozif Aşınma Direncinde Aşındırıcı Partikül Hızının Rolünün İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada [±55]4 sarım konfigürasyonunda filament sarım tekniği ile imal edilen iki farklı kompozit borunun boru içi malzeme akşının olduğu alt yapı ve malzeme aktarım uygulamalarında erozif aşınmaya maruz kalabilecek boru iç yüzeyinin erozyon davranışı dikkate alınarak araştırılmıştır. Bazalt elyaf takviyeli kompozit boru (BETKB) ile ağırlıkça %0,25 grafen nanoplakalar ile güçlendirilmiş bazalt elyaf takviyeli kompozit boruların (GNP/BETKB) katı partikül erozyon davranışları yapılan deneylerden elde edilen sonuçlar dikkate alınarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Dört farklı çarpma hızında (23 m/s, 28 m/s, 34 m/s, 53 m/s) ve üç farklı çarpma açısında (30, 45, 60) alümina aşındırıcı partiküller boru iç yüzeyine çarptırılarak elde edilen erozyon oranı değerlendirildiğinde grafen nanoplaka takviyesinin bazalt elyaf takviyeli boruda erozyon aşınmasına karşı direnci artırdığı görülmüştür. Erozyon oranının oransal değişiminin de incelendiği grafiklerde de sunulduğu üzere 28 m/s çarpma hızında %50’ye yakın bir erozyon oranı azalımı grafen nanoplaka takviyesi sayesinde elde edilmiştir. Her iki borunun aşınma modelinin yarı sünek aşınma modeline uygun bir davranış sergilediği belirlenmiştir.
