- Title
Erosion of Schist due to Solid Particle Impingement.
- Authors
Momber, A.
- Abstract
The erosion of schist due to impinging quartz and glass particles is investigated. The experimental set-up used to perform the erosion tests is briefly described. The erosion process is characterized by two failure modes, namely intercrystalline fracture and lateral cracking. The power exponent for particle velocity effects is 2.44. The schist shows the features of plastic deformation, and a model proposed by Ruff and Wiederhorn (Erosion. Academic Press, New York, pp 69-126, ) can be applied to the erosion process. The formation of glassy microfibers is noted, and it is attributed to localized heating due to the particle impact process.
