Abstract: Erosion of a material from a metal surface by the action of impinging SiC particles is studied. In a brief review, it is shown that investigators have correlated erosion wear with several ...

Abstract: A discussion is presented on the behavior of materials during erosion. A rigorous analysis must make an assumption as to the mechanism of material removal, i.e., either ductile or brittle. One ...

Abstract: Galling is a severe type of wear usually occurring at high normal stress and small relative movement between contacting surfaces. Surface protrusions, plastic deformation, magnified increases in ...

Abstract: It is known that nominally brittle materials may exhibit plastic deformation in indentation, scratching, and microcutting when the loaded region is sufficiently small. The present investigation ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for the erosive cutting of a brittle material by the normal impact of a stream of solid particles. The volume of material removed by a given number of particles is ...

Abstract: A numerical model for particle-laden flow in a tube has been developed which predicts the erosive wear of the tube wall by the action of the impinging particles. Empirical relationships are ...
