This work is focused to examine the erosive performance of hybrid Palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber(PPLSF)/glass polyester laminate against solid particle bombardment.A hand lay-up method was adopted for the fabricating four piles of five distinct laminates with different stacking order glass and PPLSF layers.Amongst them,one group of pure PPLSF and pure E-glass laminates were fabricated.The hybrid laminates were exposed to high speed stream of solid sand particle at three distinct impact velocities(48,70 and 82 m/s)and four different angles of impingement(30°,45°,60° and 90°).The effect of particle velocity,angle of impingement and stacking order on both wear rate and efficiency were highlighted.The experimental assessment reveals a significant improvement in erosive wear resistance properties due to hybridization of PPLSF with E-glass.Again,the laminates with PPLSF layer as skin and glass as core layer exhibited better erosive wear resistance properties than other types of laminates.Further,a maximum value of erosion at lower velocity(48 m/s)is also noticed at 45° impingement angle.However,at high velocity of impact 70 m/s and 82 m/s,the maximum rate of erosion has been shifted from 45° impact angle to 60° impact angle.The alternation of this semi-ductile character to semi-brittle character is evidenced by analyzing the experimental data.Further to justify the mode of erosion,the eroded surface samples were inspected by scanning electron microscope(SEM).
