Abstract

The critical flow velocity (CFV) is an important indicator to evaluate the erosion–corrosion performance of passive materials. The study focusing on the effect of impact angles on CFV behavior contributes to the further understanding of the CFV mechanism for erosion–corrosion. In this paper, the CFV behavior for erosion–corrosion of 304 stainless steel at different impact angles was investigated in the simulated sand-containing sea water. The testing methods involve the potentiostatic polarization test, mass loss measurement, surface roughness measurement, and morphology analysis. The results show that the CFV values are 15 m/s for 30°, 13 m/s for 45°, 13 m/s for 60°, and 13 m/s for 90° impact angels, respectively. The variation of CFV values with impact angles depends on the synergistic action between the normal momentum and the shear momentum, which influences the depassivation–repassivation behavior of passive films formed on the metal surface. With the increase of the impact angle, the dominant erosion–corrosion mechanism converts from the micro-cutting to the plastic deformation mechanism.
