The dependence of theerosion rate on the an

Inaddition,the effect of a thin chemical vapour deposited(CVD)carbon layer on topof a colloidal graphite paint coating and a graphite foil clad was investigated.
4、Thecoating and cladding materials displayed a greater erosion resistance at all angles of incidence compared to the porous carbon carbon composite. In general, the greatesterosion rate was found at an angle of incidence of 90 , where the erodent stream isperpendicular to the erosion surface, and bri

As a result of the highporosity and the fibre orientation,the thermal conductivity perpendicular tothe fibre layer planes is low, a typical value for a material with a nominal density of0.20 Mg m3 is 0.24 W m1 K1 at 2000 C in vacuum 。 Investigations into the microst

( 1997 Chapman & Hall CBCF is used in furnaces employed in high technology applications such as single-crystal growing (for example, silicon orgalliumarsenide) ormetalheat treatment。Theheat

12、opposed to an oil quench, is that thecooling rate can be controlled; therefore, it is possible to reduce warping andcracking in the component 。 During gas quenching, parti culate mattermay become entrained in the gas ows, and impingement with the insulationmay result in material removal。 In the chal
13、lenging environment of gasquenching, there is a requirement for erosion protection of the CBCF bythe use of higher densitycarbon-basedcoating and cladding materials。Generally, ductile and brittle materials exhibit different erosioncharacteristics; of particular interest is their relationship between
14、 theerosion rate and the angle of incidence 15。 Ductile materialstend to display maximum erosion at glancing angles of impact,approximately 30 for metals, and material removal is thought tooccur by a micromachining mechanism with a contribution ofdeformation wear at higher angles. On the other hand,
15、 for brittle materials, maximum erosion is found where the erodent stream is perpendicular to the erosion surface ,and material removal typically results from the formation of Hertzian or lateralcracks 。 Although it is a convenient approach to idealize materialserosion behaviour in this manner, it i
16、s an oversimplification, becauseerosion is found to depend on other factors, including the erosionconditions, such as erodent par ticle size and shape, as well asthe details of the microstructure of the target material 。 This paper isconcerned with the examination of the microstructure and the efect

The results presented involve the steady state erosion rate as afunction of impingement angle under defined conditions. The overall aim of thiswork is to relate the microstructure to the erosion data by means ofa

34、In the majority of cases, coating was not required due to the sufcient electrical conductivity of the carbon samples; however, where charging of retained silica erodent was evident in the eroded samples, they were splutter coated with gold。3。 Results and discussion3。1。MicrostructureThe structure of

Thethickness of the Calcoat colloidal graphite paint coating is variable,due to the brushing method of application, but generally is in the range 4060 lm (Fig. 2a)。 However, as a result of the high porosity content and theinterconnected nature of the
