The erosion of glass as a function of the velocity of alumina particles of 30 μm average size was studied. It was found that the use of the rotating double-disk method to determine particle velocity can lead to systematic deviations. Correcting for this effect, the results indicate that the erosion can be well described using indentation fracture mechanics. The exponent of the velocity-dependence...
