Erosion Mechanisms of Metals.

Abstract

This final report summarizes the experimental approach was to initially study a single alloy which exhibits a transition from brittle to ductile type erosion response at room temperature. At a later stage, the dynamic hardness of several substrate materials, both pure metals and alloys, was measured in order to provide a material property obtained under dynamic conditions similar to those during an actual erosion event. The results can be conveniently separated into two phases as follows: Erosion Material Removal Mechanisms, and Correlation Between Dynamic Hardness and Erosion.
