... of erosion mechanisms that are dependent on the particles’ kinetic energy. Microscopic examinations of damaged surfaces revealed that extruded lips indentation was the major mechanism of erosion, which occurred at 5 m/s speed and 30-deg impingement angle. Ploughing was proved that it was the predominant...

... of NiCrAlY coating as compared to Ni - 20 Cr coating under the tested conditions. Erosion mechanisms of plasma sprayed coatings are discussed. The erosion test conditions utilized in the present study are listed in Table 4 . A standard test procedure was employed for each erosion test. The samples were...
