Abstract

During recent erosion research at the University of Greenwich using a rotating disc accelerator erosion tester no peak has been observed in the curve of erosion damage vs. angle of impingement. This lack of peak has been observed for tests on a range of steels at a variety of particle impact velocities and fluxes and is contrary to previously reported results. Results of erosion tests on targets at various orientations are given in this paper. The targets used in this work were all made from 0.8% carbon steel (SAE1074). It is shown that changing the orientation of the target in such a tester can lead to different mechanisms of impact erosion occurring owing to changes in the particle dynamics at impact. Several reasons for this behaviour are suggested by the authors including: (a) the variation of particle flux across the target surface as the angle of orientation of the target to the flow of particles is changed, (b) the variation in the occurrence of inter-particulate collisions with the angle of target orientation, and (c) the effects of particle sliding on the walls of the acceleration mechanism inducing particle spin such that the mechanism of cutting is increased at low angles of particle impingement.
