AN INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC FACTORS ON THE EROSIVE WEAR KINETICS OF POLYMER COATINGS

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2016, Vol 268, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents investigation results concerning the influence of the modification with nanoparticles of silica (of mean grain size 12 nm or 20 nm) or aluminium trioxide (20 nm) of the structure of epoxy coatings on their resistance to climatic factors and the action of erosive particles. Epoxy coatings aged in natural climatic conditions showed an erosive resistance decrease with ageing. The erosive resistance decrease was accompanied by a hardness decrease as well as surface roughness increase. The highest resistance to erosive wear after 3 years of ageing revealed coatings modified with aluminium trioxide nanoparticles, while the lowest one showed coatings modified with silica nanoparticles of 12 nm mean grain size. Nanocoatings modified with aluminium trioxide nanoparticles also had the highest resistance to ageing; which was proven by the lowest increase of Ra and Rz surface profile parameter values with time, as well as by a high surface hardness, which was higher than hardness of new unmodified coatings.<br/><br/>
