Abstract

Erosion by slurries — the removal of material from a container wall by the contact with it of solid particles suspended in liquid — is described and the principal factors affecting the rate of material removal given. The complexities of the slurry flow and material wear phenomena require that test methods to measure rates of material loss by erosion employ known, controlled and reproducible conditions. Common test methods and the methods of assessing wear are noted. Continuing problems are the achievement of comparability of test conditions and the measurement of small amounts of erosion wear. Comments are offered on the limiting particle-wall collision event, the range of wear rates typically measured and uncertainties in slurry erosion.
