Abstract
|
Reports
a dry erosion test using a sand blaster erosion machine to investigate the
erosive behavior and mechanism relative to API X42 pipeline steel.
Researchers applied various particle velocities in the range of 20 to 80 m/s
at a variety of test durations, while keeping the incident angle constant.
Results revealed that the plowing mechanism was prevailing at higher velocity
and longer test duration.
Plastic deformation, embedment of the erodent particle on the target material surface and plowing were observed at lower velocity. Understanding the transition in the erosion mechanism as the particle velocity increases is of critical importance to the petroleum industry. This will also aid in the erosion models employed for future erosion analysis. |
