An experimental investigation was conducted to study the ash particle rebound characteristics and the associated erosion behavior of superalloys and aluminide coatings subjected to gas-particle flows at elevated temperatures. At three-component LDV system was used to measure the restitution parameters of 15 micron mean diameter coal ash particles impacting some widely used superalloys and coatings at different angles. Results show the variation restitution ratios with the impingement angle for the coated and uncoated superalloys. Experimental results were used to develop correlations for the restitution parameters for coated and uncoated superalloys. A theoretical model based on elastic-plastic theory has been developed to simulate single solid particle impacts on solid targets. The erosion behaviors of many superalloys and protective coatings have also been investigated experimentally at high temperatures using a specially designed erosion tunnel. Also, the cumulative effect of the impacting particle mass on the weight loss and erosion rate were investigated. Semi-empirical erosion equations were developed for these materials based on the experimental erosion data and correlations of the restitution parameters. Coatings tested include: platinum alimunides, cobalt aluminides, nickel aluminides, rhodium platinum aluminides, and chromium carbide. Superalloys tested were nickel base alloys Inco in-738 and Mar-M246, as well as Cobalt base alloys X40 and FSX-414. 10 refs., 86 figs., 5 tabs.
