Erosion-corrosion and synergistic effects in disturbed liquid-particle flow

The experiments were designed to understand whether erosion enhances corrosion or corrosion enhances erosion and to evaluate the contribution of the individual processes to the net synergism. It was observed that erosion enhances corrosion and corrosion enhances erosion, with each contributing to significant synergism; however, the dominant process was the effect of corrosion on erosion.
