Abstract
In this work, experimental results are given for the erosive action of a particleladen gas stream on specimen materials which have widely different physical properties. The effects of particle shape, particle velocity and angle of attack are investigated and the parameters affecting particle deposition in the specimen surface are enumerated. A simple approach to a theoretical analysis of the problem is given and the relationships derived are used to correlate the experimental results. These relationships are used to predict the erosion-angle of attack characteristics for different specimen materials.
