| 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. The papers presented in this text cover a broad range of erosionrelated topics pertaining to ceramic materials. The information provided is intended to give a person an overview of the current advances in our understanding of the erosion of ceramics, as well as the major problem areas that require further research. The papers provide a balanced perspective of our current progress in modeling erosion damage, correlating erosion data to material properties, and understanding the dependence of erosion damage on microstructure. |
