Reducing the mechanical wear of elbows and pipes due to solid particles flow by using nano coating technique

Abstract This work investigated reasons and factors that cause the failure due to mechanical wear (Erosion) for the inside surface of elbows and pipes used in cement transportation which manufactures from low carbon steel and finds out a method for reducing this failure. The technique of Nano-coatin...
