Evaluating the Effect of Hardness on Erosion Characteristics of Aluminum and Steels
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the erosion behavior of commonly used stainless steels (AISI 310S, AISI 316), carbon steel (AISI 1020), and Aluminum 6060 were experimentally investigated. The effect of hardness on erosion rates and on the morphologies of eroded surfaces has been evaluated. The experiments were carried out using an air jet erosion tester and utilizing angular alumina as erodent with 50 lm particle size. The samples were tested at six different impact angles (15 ,3 0 ,4 5 ,6 0 ,7 5, and 90) using three different impact velocities (30, 60, and 100 m/s). The eroded surfaces were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the evaluation of material degradation. The erosion rates were found to increase with the increase of the alloy bulk hardness and Aluminum 6060 showed maximum erosion resistance. For all specimens, the erosion rates were found to increase with the increase of impact velocity and the maximum erosion rate was found to occur between 15 and 30 impact angles. The obtained results were found to correlate very well with Oka et al. (Wear, 259:95–101, 2005) erosion model.
