Cavitation Erosion and Solid Particle Erosion Behaviour of a Nitrogen Alloyed Austenitic Stainless Steel

Solid Particle Erosion of Thermal Sprayed Coatings

Solid particle erosion is an important material degradation mechanism. Although various methods of coating are tried and used for protection against erosion, thermal sprayed coating for such purpose is the most widely used method. In this chapter, evolution of thermal sprayed coating, erosion testing methods, and erosive wear of thermal sprayed coatings are discussed extensively with emphasis o...

Hardness is the most SOLID-particle erosion is a loss of material during repetwidely used property to correlate with the erosion rates of itive impacts of solid particles and is one of the primary materials. For pure metals, some correlation between erosion reasons for fly ash–borne damage of power generation comrate and hardness has been shown.[4] However, se...

Solid Particle Erosion on Different Metallic Materials

Comparison of cavitation erosion rate with liquid impingement erosion rate

Both cavitation erosion and liquid impingement erosion are phenomena that can cause pipe wall thinning in power plants. The Code for Power Generation Facilities, Rules on Pipe Wall Thinning Management, was published by the JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) in 2005. The code says that cavitation erosion shall be prevented either in the design stage or by daily inspection. On the other...

Effects of Laser Shock Processing on Morphologies and Mechanical Properties of ANSI 304 Stainless Steel Weldments Subjected to Cavitation Erosion

Effects of laser shock processing (LSP) on the cavitation erosion resistance of laser weldments were investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, roughness tester, micro hardness tester, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology. The morphological microstructures were characterized. Cumulative mass loss, incubation period, erosion rate, and damaged surf...
