Erosion of Ceramic Materials

Edited by: John E. Ritter

Online since: January 1992

Description: Erosion of ceramic materials often limits their use in many structural applications such as turbine blades, turbocharger rotors, bearings, replacement hip joints, cutting tools, and windscreens and nose cones of supersonic aircraft. The degradation effects of erosion arise because of the extreme susceptibility of ceramics to localized surface cracking when impacted by a hard particle.
