The inertial surface is composed of thin but uniform distribution of non-interacting material. In the mathematical analysis, the Fourier and Laplace transform techniques have been utilized to obtain the depressions of the inertial surface and the interface in the form of infinite integrals. For initial disturbances concentrated at a point, the inertial surface depression and the interface depression are evaluated asymptotically for large time and distance by using the method of stationary phase. They are also depicted graphically for two types of initial disturbances and appropriate conclusions are made.展开更多

The slurry erosion behaviors of the P110 steel substrate and the chromizing coating were assessed in a liquid-solid two-phase flow condition. The results showed that the obtained coating exhibited higher surface hardness, lower mass loss, and lower slurry erosion rate than those of P110 steel. The chromizing treatment has significantly improved the surface hardness and slurry erosion resistance of P110 steel.展开更多
