Modelling erosion-corrosion in metals: the effects of elastic rebound and impact angle on erosion-corrosion maps

Erosion-corrosion maps rarely take into consideration the role the rebound velocity has in extending the transition boundaries. Furthermore, although impact angle is an important and widely studied variable in experimental erosion-corrosion mapping, there have been few studies on theoretical treatments of this variable on such maps. In addition, the role of pH in changing the transition boundaries has been rarely modelled. In this chapter, the effect of elastic rebound velocity and impact angle on erosion-corrosion maps are explored at various pH values. This overview indicates how such variables can be modelled and suggests future directions in this field.
