Erosion by a stream of solid particles

Investigating the Role of Shape on the Biological Impact of Gold Nanoparticles in Vitro

“…Most notably, the concept of 'angle of attack' has been considered [47]. In this regard, it is conceived that the NPs interact with the cell surface and the total parallel component of the kinetic energy produced contributes to a cutting wear [48]. Therefore, due to the small, flat surface of the hexagonal GNPs, it can be assumed that the hexagonal GNPs could engage in a small angle of attack resulting in a greater mass internalisation of hexagonal GNPs within the Calu-3 cells compared to the spherical and triangular GNPs (0.53±0.05 mg vs. 0.11±0.04 mg (spheres) and 0.19±0.08 mg (triangular)).…”

“…The edges of the indentation crater have platelet protrusions s·imilar to those seen on a smear crater. 7 …”

Experimental Study and Analysis of Slurry Erosion Wear of SS304L Material

“…Change in the wear rate at a particular particle size occurs at some threshold kinetic energy of impacting particle . Relation between threshold kinetic energy for different operating condition and the change in erosion mechanism is discussed.Neilson, et al [6] have studied the erosion by a stream of solid particles. In their work, the effects of particles shape, particles velocity and angle of impact were observed and the parameters affecting particles deposition in the specimen surface are enumerated.…”
