ABSTRACT

Alumina-filled epoxy resin in which erosion phenomena occurred is one typical particulate-filled composite and has been used in applications such as insulation material of the magnetic coil in linear motor car. In this study, the effect of attack angle, the content and shape of filler on erosion damage were investigated.
