Abstract:
In the current study, the effect of particle size and velocity on solid particle erosive wear properties of glass-ceramics produced from cast basalt was investigated. The samples sectioned as the size of 50 x 50 x 12 mm were used for experimental studies. The samples were fixed 20 mm distance from the nozzle, and then they were eroded at 30 degrees,60 degrees,90 degrees impact angle by using alumina erosive media size of 106 - 150 mu and 63 - 106 mu m in different spray pressure 1.5, 3 and 4 bar for 20 sec. The particle size and velocity parameters were affected wear rates of basalt base glass-ceramics.
