Abstract
The behavior of materials subject to erosion has been studied extensively in the last 20 years, yet little is known about the physical mechanisms of material removal. This work is an attempt to determine the mechanisms by which material is removed from a ductile metal surface when subjected to the impingement of a stream of angular abrasive particles. The particular case considered is one where the stream impinges at angles that are nearly normal to the average surface. In this case, material appears to be removed in the form of platelets that result when a protrusion from the average surface is severely plastically deformed (as if being spread over the surface) by the impingement of a smooth side of a particle.
