Conference topics include: abrasion and erosion by solid particles; liquid impact or caviation; theory and modelling, including CFD; experimental methods and standardisation of tests; mechanisms of erosive wear and material damage; case studies of practical examples; applications of abrasion or erosion in processing and manufacturing; abrasion and erosion of metals, plastics, ceramics, cermets, composites and biomaterials; wear-corrosion interactions and synergies; abrasion, erosion or erosion-corrosion resistant coatings and surface modification, including erosion of thermal barrier coatings, damage to optical materials and sensor windows; wear in nano- and micro-scale systems (NEMS and MEMS); sensing and monitoring.
