TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (micro-hardness and fracture toughness) of WC-Co coatings are studied in relation to their water droplet erosion performance.

TL;DR: TiAl showed superior erosion resistance in all erosion conditions; however, its erosion performance exhibits higher sensitivity to the impact speed compared to Ti6Al4V, which means that aggressive erosion conditions decrease the WDE resistance superiority of TiAl.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of representing WDE results in terms of the applied energy intensity is proposed, which is used to report the WDE test results of three structural materials (12% Cr stainless steel, Ti6Al4V and TiAl) tested at various conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, gas nitriding was applied on Ti6Al4V and its influence on water droplet erosion performance was investigated, and the results showed that the sample nitrided in the N2-4%H2 atmosphere showed slightly higher resistance to erosion than those nitriders in N2 atmosphere, due to the formation of a hard and dense compound layer that was deposited due, in part, to the presence of reducing environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the erosion damage mechanism of nearly fully lamellar Ti45Al2Nb2Mn0.8TiB 2 (45-2-2XD) alloy.
