The Effect of Impact Angle of the Particle on Solid Particle Wear Properties of Basalt Base Glass-Ceramics

In this study, the effect of impact angle of the particles on solid particle erosive wear properties of basalt base glass-ceramics used for industrial applications was investigated.Commercial basalt glass-ceramic materials size of 20 × 20 × 3 cm was sectioned to the size of 5 × 5 × 1.2 cm.The experimental procedure was performed by using erosive wear test device with nozzle diameter of 0.78 cm.Na feldspar size of 300 µm was used as erosive media.The samples were fixed 2 cm distance from the nozzle, Na feldspar particles were sprayed by using 1.5, 3, 4 bar pressure for 20 s.The tests were repeated with 30 • +45 • +60 • +75 • +90 • impact angles.The erosive wear rates were measured and the effect of particle impact angle on wear properties was determined.
