This paper shows the results of an experimental investigation of the nature and characteristics of erosion of metals by high-speed impingement of airborne dust particles. The influence of various parameters upon the rate of erosion is shown. The manner in which the rate of erosion varies with certain of these parameters indicates that erosion occurs through the ductile displacement of the eroded material by the impinging dust particle.
