“…Different sizes of abrasive particles have been considered to study erosion behavior of stainless steels using different characterization techniques: 3D-surface profilometer, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy [11]. The experimental setup parameters included: 40 l of water volume, 0.5 vol% of sand concentration in slurry, 480 g of used sand mass, different mean sand particle diameter (50, 80, 150, 350, 450, 700 µm), 80 rpm of stirrer speed, 43.5 rpm of peristaltic pump speed, 30 m/s of fluid flow velocity, 10 min of impingement duration, 4.7 bar of pulsation dampener pressure, 90° of impingement angle and 12.7 mm of nozzle to target distance.…”
