Abstract

The testing of erosion resistant materials is usually performed on laboratory scale test rigs under accelerated wear conditions. The validity of this is questionable because of the dependence of wear mechanisms on a variety of impact parameters. Data are presented that have been obtained from such tests on a glass–ceramic (Silceram) which has been developed as a low-cost erosion resistant lining material. Various impact conditions have been investigated, including impact angle, particle velocity, and impact frequency. The data concerning the effects of particle velocity show very good agreement with one particular erosion model, although there is an apparent dependence on other test variables.
