Abstract
A series of experiments was performed to investigate the erosion behavior of a solid plate by an impinging liquid jet with a special emphasis to the examination of the influence of the melting layer formed on the solid plate surface to the erosion rate. The experiments were conducted with varying the parameters such as jet temperature, velocity, diameter, nozzle to plate distance and impingement angle. Hot water (60–90°C) was used as the liquid jet and, as solid plates, two kinds of paraffin plates with different viscosity, and Wood's metal (m.p. 78°C; Bi-60%, Sn-20%, In-20% alloy) were used. From the present experiments it is concluded that the behavior of the molten layer formed on the solid surface plays an important role in the erosion behavior of the solid plate by the jet impingement.
