Experimental–numerical investigation of solid–liquid jet erosion in AISI 304 stainless steel: effect of impingement angle and strain hardening

Solid–liquid jet erosion of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel was investigated at impingement angles of 30° and 45° using a coupled experimental–numerical framework. One-hour slurry jet tests (2 wt% SiO₂, mean particle size 230 μm, velocity 1 m·s⁻¹) were combined with transient...
