This work focuses on the erodent capability of yttria-stabilized zirconia beads impacting on a limestone target surface. The target surface was used as the cap of a hardened steel vial clamped on a SPEX Mixer/Mill 8000. The vial three-dimensional swing results in repeated bead impacts that cause the material removal from the target surface. The mass loss varies linearly with the number of beads, which allowed estimating the mass lost per bead per impact. It amounts approximately to 70 ng, a value that compares fairly well with the one of about 80 ng estimated from the volume of the indents left on the target surface by individual impacts. Experimental findings indicate that the methodology developed can be reliably utilized to investigate solid particle erosion under highly reproducible and controllable experimental conditions.

受控条件下石灰石目标表面的固体颗粒侵蚀

这项工作的重点是氧化钇稳定的氧化锆珠撞击石灰石目标表面的侵蚀能力。目标表面被用作固定在SPEX Mixer / Mill 8000上的硬化钢瓶的盖子。样品瓶的三维摆动会导致反复的小珠撞击，从而导致材料从目标表面去除。质量损失随珠子的数量线性变化，从而可以估算每次撞击每个珠子的质量损失。它大约等于70 ng，这个值与根据个别冲击在目标表面上留下的凹痕量估算出的大约80 ng值相当。实验结果表明，所开发的方法可以可靠地用于在高度可再现和可控制的实验条件下研究固体颗粒侵蚀。
