Erosion of Brittle Materials by Solid Particle Impact

  • Chapter

Part of the Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics book series (FMOC,volume 3)

Abstract

Results are presented which show, that in addition to fracture, plastic deformation occurs and plays an important role in the erosion of brittle materials by solid particle impact. These conclusions are supported by transmission electron microscopy studies of impact damage produced in a wide variety of brittle materials and by erosive wear studies on silicon nitride and alumina. The erosive wear studies also indicate that while erosion resistance is primarily determined by fracture toughness and hardness, the relative importance of these materials parameters depends on the test conditions (e.g. temperature and angle of particle impingement).
