Attrition and Erosion Mechanisms
Abstract
Attrition and erosion are critical reliability concerns that can lead to unplanned shutdowns. Although particle attrition and erosion may appear to be separate issues, their mechanisms are closely interconnected. Erosion-prone areas often exhibit extensive particle attrition, which underscores the need to discuss both phenomena. Addressing these factors in tandem can improve operational reliability and extend equipment lifespan.
