Erosion-corrosion experiments and the quantitative equations under water-vapour two-phase flows

Erosion experiments of stainless steel were performed under water-vapour two-phase flow conditions. The experiments were performed by using Component Test Loop and erosion losses were estimated by weight differences of specimens between before and after tests. Quantitative erosion-corrosion equations both under two-phase flows and under single-phase flows were proposed by semi-theoretical considerations with the present results. Also, the quantitative erosion/corrosion equation was originally made for all metals. (author)
