Abstract
Solid particle erosion is a phenomenon associated with the loss of material from engineering elements due to the im**ement of particles. The aim of this research is to examine the performance of aluminum alloy AA 6082 T6 under various test conditions at room temperature. Fine silica sand is used as erodent particles with three ranges (150–300, 300–450 and 450–600 µm). The angle of im**ement (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°), standoff distance (15, 20 and 25 mm) and impact velocity (30, 40, 50, 60,70 m/s) are considered as control parameters. It is found that maximum erosion wear is exhibited at 45° im**ement angle at all impact velocities and erodent sizes which shows ductile characteristics of the samples. Moreover, erosion of AA6082 T6 aluminum alloy increased continuously with impact velocity as almost linearly at all im**ement angles and erodent sizes, while erosion rate of alloy decreased with increase in standoff distance. Test results are analyzed by the Taguchi approach to confirm the minimization of experimental observation for clarification of outcomes in another process. Significance of interaction of parameters and identification of most affecting parameter are determined by considering ANOVA. Hence, erosion of aluminum alloy was found maximum at 60° im**ement angle and 70 m/s impact velocity by using 150–300 µm particles size at a 15 mm standoff distance. S/N ratio demonstrates that there is 5.86% error evaluated between predicted and experimental outcomes.
