An Experimental Investigation of the Erosive Characteristics of 2024 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

The erosive characteristics of 2024 aluminum alloy have been experimentally examined. The parameters investigated included the particle approach angle, particle velocity, particle size, specimen length, particle material, particle concentration, and quantity of abrasive impacting the specimen. From this data an analytical model has been developed which will predict the erosion of this material.
