Abstract
In this study, an erosion model of silicon carbide ceramics and YW3 was established by combining experimental and numerical simulation data. This model can be applied for the prediction of erosion in natural gas equipment and transportation systems and also provides ideas for the establishment of erosion models. The erosion model was established by using quartz sand, brown corundum, and glass beads as abrasive materials, and then the accuracy of the erosion model was confirmed by numerical simulations. The results showed that when the abrasive was quartz sand, brown corundum, or glass beads, the erosion angle at which the maximum erosion of silicon carbide and YW3 occurred was related to the type of abrasive. When the abrasive was quartz sand, brown corundum, and glass beads, the velocity index n of silicon carbide was 3.24, 3.66, and 3.32, respectively, and the model constant k was 4.1959 × 10−11, 3.6436 × 10−11, and 4.1838 × 10−11, respectively. The velocity index n of YW3 was 2.29, 2.41, and 1.87, respectively, and the model constant k was 2.6176 × 10−7, 3.0017 × 10−7, and 3.1040 × 10−7, respectively. When the test results were compared with the numerical simulation results, the maximum error for silicon carbide was 6.59%, 7.71%, and 9.25%, respectively, and the maximum error for YW3 was 8.78%, 9.51%, and 5.97%, respectively. Finally, the erosion model of silicon carbide ceramics and YW3 was established via a large number of experiments and numerical simulations. When the target material and abrasive material are the same, it can be directly used for erosion prediction and structure optimization of natural gas equipment. Meanwhile, this paper provides a new idea for the establishment of gas–solid two-phase erosion model, and when the abrasive material and target material change, a new erosion model can be established according to the idea of this paper.
