The aim of the research work is to study the physical, mechanical, and erosive wear properties of sugarcane bagasse fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. The physical (density, void content) and the mechanical (hardness, tensile strength, impact energy, flexural strength) properties of the composites were found to increase with the content of bagasse fiber. For erosive wear analysis, the experiments were carried out with the help of erosion test machine. To minimize the erosive wear rate, Taguchi technique is executed to explore the influence of five control factors including fiber content, impact velocity, impingement, stand-off distance, and erodent size at three levels. Using Taguchi (L 27 ) orthogonal array, the optimal combination of control factors, which yielded minimum erosive wear rate, was statistically predicted and experimentally verified. The fiber content and impact velocity were the two most contributing control factors for the minimization of erosive wear rate. The important sequence of the parameters is fiber content > impact velocity > impingement angle > erodent size > stand-off distance. The optimal combination of control factors was obtained at 10 wt% of fiber content, 30 m/s of impact velocity, 30 of impingement angle, 85 mm of stand-off distance, and 250 μm of erodent size. Finally, composites worn surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscope to study the possible erosive wear mechanism. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:3777-3786, 2019.
