This paper presents an overview about particulate wear that occurs in various components
of slurry pumps, pipeline systems, and hydraulic turbines due to the mechanical action …

Aluminium alloy‐based metal matrix composites (AMMCs) have been by now established
themselves as a suitable wear resistant material especially for sliding wear applications …

Erosion, abrasion, and corrosion are the common problems in various industries, namely
hydropower plants, thermal power plants, offshore, chemical, food processing, oil industries …

Hydroelectric turbine machinery experience extreme wear and tear due to slurry erosion and
is one of the leading causes for the unplanned shutdown of hydro power plants. The …

Stainless steel (SS) 316L is widely used for hydraulic machinery of ash disposal slurry
pumps. In this work, the Al-20TiO2 coating powders were sprayed on SS316L materials …

In this paper, the performance of hardsurfacing Cobalt alloy (Stellite 6) and Nickel alloy
(Colmonoy 88) was tested in tribological slurry conditions by using a pot tester. Thermal …

The solid particle erosion of a spherical alumina particle-reinforced epoxy matrix composite
was investigated. Three dimensionless parameters were demonstrated to play key roles in …
