Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Controlcollects together the work of more than 130 industrially-supported research projects conducted over 50 years on erosion at the Tallinn Technical University, Estonia (now the Tallinn University of Technology), much of which is previously unpublished in English. Providing a systematic review of erosion caused by solid particles, Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Controlalso introduces a new energetic theory of erosion by plastic contact, based on theories of plastic contact and brittle behaviour models for composite structures. Materials engineers, researchers and students will findSolid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Controla valuable resource on erosion wear mechanisms, with extensive data on erosive wear resistance of conventional steels, powder materials and coatings, criteria for erosive wear-resistant material and coating selection, and case studies on improving the erosion resistance of industrial equipment. | Solid Particle Erosion by Ilmar Kleis, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
