The financial deliberations favor the choice of low-cost metals, in general, carbon steel as a flow-line material. Yet, there are many cases where carbon steel been substituted with a low-cost stainless steel. The corrosion resistance of the stainless-steel is well accepted. However, there is another type of deformation that is not well studied and understood is its erosion resistance. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the erosion of stainless steel placed in a dry sand stream of micro-size particles. The manipulated variables were sand size, impingement angle, gas flow velocity, and nozzle distance. The obtained results showed that the large particle size, high fluid-flow velocity and short nozzle distance would result in more severe erosion of the stainless-steel coupons. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2018 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85056779387&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201822503003&partnerID=40&md5=49f8e05710fe704a10d3d7831ba9aab6 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201822503003 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 225 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Naz, M.Y. and Sulaiman, S.A. and Ismail, N.I. and Inayat, M. and Shukrullah, S. and Ghaffar, A.
