The fabricated sample was characterized using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that a long martensitic phase structure (in the form of α/α' laths) was retained since the heat treatment temperature was far below the β transus value. Using the Taguchi experimental approach, the SPE tests were conducted for different impact angles, velocities, and temperatures. This approach optimized the number of experiments for measuring the erosion rate and predicted the most influencing variable in the test. The scanning electron microscopy technique was also used to characterize the eroded sample. The effect of impact velocity dominated the erosion behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V alloy, followed by temperature and impact angle.
