Abstract

In recent time, more and more emphasis has been placed on studding the behavior of erosion of polymeric composites. This may be due to the extensive use of these materials in its mechanical and structural applications. Epoxy is among of the most commonly coatings materials used in the industry that for their good appearance, wear resistance, and excellent adhesion to metal surfaces. The current work is focused to display a review on solid particle erosion of epoxy coating layer reinforced by various fillers was displayed. Erosion wear was evaluated using a solid impact erosion tester using different parameters such as sand particles with different sizes, impact velocity, and impingement angles. Epoxy coatings as a polymer matrix along with the details of the nanoparticle reinforcements, such as alumina, silica, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, clay and carbon-based materials. The effect of these nanoparticles on the properties of composite coatings has also been investigated.
