Experimental Investigation on Wear Behavior of Epoxy-TiO2 Composite Coatings via Taguchi Technique
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 47, Issue 1
Abstract
In this study, the weight percentages of various composites are added to epoxy resins coating material with a fixed amount of ceramic particles in order to improve the coating's mechanical and tribological qualities. Prepared were test specimens of pure epoxy resins with varying reinforcement weight percentages (4%, 6% and 8%). The configuration of a Tribometer is used to examine the material's wear characteristics by conducting various tests on a polymer matrix composite. The results obtained indicate that the mechanical and tribological properties of the newly created epoxy coating composite are greatly enhanced by the addition of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) reinforcement material. This article summarizes the parametric effects of reinforcement, temperature, and load on the wear rate of an epoxy coating with TiO2 reinforcement. For modeling and optimization, the Taguchi technique is utilized. On a Tribometer with variable load and temperature, the wear resistance of a specimen was examined. According to the data, both reinforcements in epoxy resins result in a lower wear rate than pure epoxy. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine the significance of the operating parameters on the performance characteristics under consideration. Further experimentation has been conducted to validate the performance of optimal parameters. The proper set of process parameters has been selected based on the findings of this investigation. ANOVA was utilized to examine the influence of each parameter on wear rate. Finally, a confirmation test was conducted to compare the projected wear rate value to the experimental value.
