Characteristics and mechanism of the synergistic effect between erosion and corrosion.

The characteristics and mechanism of synergistic effect between the erosion and corrosion were investigated by means of erosion and corrosion testing, electrochemical measurements and microstrain measurement by XRD broadening. The investigations were carried out on heat-treated (as-received, annealed, quenched and tempered) AISI 52100 and AISI 1020 steels eroded with varying amounts of erodent (10g, 50g and 100g SiC particles) and/or at varying erosion angles (30°, 45° and 60°).
