Abstract

Systematic measurements of the steady state erosion rate as a function of erodent particle flux were made for a range of different erosion conditions. A significant decrease in erosion rate with increasing flux was observed. A first-order particle collision model was developed that provides a physical basis for describing the flux effect. The data confirm the exponential dependence of the erosion rate on flux predicted by the model. Further analysis of the data within the context of the collision model also provides new insight into the particle impact process.
