Wear causes both significant economic and environmental losses by shortening the service life of machinery. Earthmoving machinery is an example of machinery subjected to heavy wear in extreme conditions, where materials suffer from both impacts and scratching by the abrasives. In this work, we have determined the wear surface deformation of four impact-abraded steels to reveal the possible differences...
Erosion caused by solid particles entrained in pipelines can lead to serious economic loss and potential safety hazards in the oil and gas industry. Long straight pipe is the most common form of pipeline. In the present work, a probability model for particle erosion in a long straight pipe is proposed to predict the overall penetration rate caused by solid particles by analyzing the random movement...
The damage caused by sand erosion is an inevitable problem encountered in the oil and gas transportation system. The elbow is one of most vulnerable fittings of pipelines. For gas flow in elbows, it has been proved that incident solid particles will rebound randomly when they initially impact the wall, and then impact the wall once again with a certain probability, resulting in second collision erosion...
