Summary on Grant Application Form |

Erosion-oxidation of materials can occur in many environments ranging from some of the more advanced coal-conversion systems to the turbine blades of jet engines. The extent of wastage is a function of various parameters which include the impacting particles, the target material and the oxidation environment. Hence, any method of predicting wastage is potentially useful as the parameters involved in the process are so numerous. The objective of this programme is to develop a mathematical model of alloy wastage in low-velocity erosion-oxidation conditions. The effects of temperature, impact energy and alloy oxidation resistance on the wastage rate have been studied widely in recent years and various mechanisms have been proposed to account for these effects. However, a mathematical model of the effects of these parameters has not been developed. Mathematical algorithms will be initially developed to model the effects of temperature, impact energy and alloy oxidation resistance. The work will then be extended to incorporate the effects of particle flux, impact angle and various oxidation rate laws. The model will be used to construct the theoretical boundaries on erosion-oxidation maps as functions of erosion and oxidation parameters.
