The Effect of Impact Angle on the Erosion of Cermets

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Tribology and Bridging the Gap Between the Macro- and Micro/Nanoscales

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 10))

Abstract

The erosive wear resistance of ceramic metal composites with different composition, structure and properties has been investigated. It has been shown that the wear resistance of cermets cannot be estimated only by hardness. The differences in wear resistance between cermet materials with equal hardness levels can be attributed to differences in their resistance to fracture and modulus of elasticity. The present paper discusses some features of the material damage during the process of interaction of abrasive particle with the target surface. Solid particle erosion tests have been performed on three grades of cermets with silica erodents to study the effect of impact angle on erosion rate. The impact angles varied from 30 to 90°.
