In the current study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon particles (micron size) were employed to create carbon particle dispersions. At different impact angles, the erosion of abrasive particles in an air jet is examined. Carbon particles dispersed across a metal matrix increased the fibre bonding but decreased the mechanical strength. In the sample, carbon nanotubes make up 5% of the total. The strength of carbon nanotubes in matrix materials overcomes the growth in carbon particle length significantly. When carbon particles are present, the matrix material weakens and becomes brittle. Due to the effect of attrition on exposed surfaces, materials that are subjected to particle impingement are more vulnerable to erosive processes. Carbon has significantly improved the matrix material’s surface property. The research findings significantly affect 5% of the CNT composite. At 30°, 0.0033 g/min showed the least proportion of abrasive wear. Erosive wear decreases at the lowest impingement angle but increases as the impact angle increases. Since it causes brittleness, increasing the weight percentage of carbon particles is discouraged.
Influence of carbon PartIcle In Polymer matrIx comPosIte over mechanIcal ProPertIes and trIbology behavIorin this research, the carbon particle dispersions are made in two different levels as carbon nano tube (Cnt) and carbon particle in microns range. the mechanical strength is evaluated for the composites developed by axial loading and bending test analysis. in addition, the air jet abrasive particle erosion study is performed for different angle of impingement. the dispersion of carbon particle in the matrix material has reduced the mechanical strength. the sample with 4% of Cnt dispersion in the composite has a maximum strength of 143 MPa and a minimum strength of 112 MPa. For the same combination (4% of Cnt composite), the maximum flexural strength is 116 MPa. it is clear to infer that the strength of Cnt in matrix materials is superior to the increase in length of carbon particle. the dispersion of carbon particle in the matrix material increases the brittleness and the strength is diminished. During the flexural bending, the fiber delamination occurred with severe deformation in the plain composite. when the materials are subjected to impingement of solid particle, the attrition effect on the exposed surfaces is vulnerable towards erosive mechanism. the presence of carbon in the matrix material has significantly increased the surface property. the results are appreciable for 4% of Cnt composite. especially at 30º, the minimum erosive wear 0.0033 g/g has been recorded. erosive wear is less at minimum impingement angle and the wear is found increasing at higher impingement angle. therefore, it is recommended not to add carbon particle to a higher weight percentage, since it leads to brittleness.
