Viscoelastic Resistance of the Surface Layer of Steel Products to Shock Attack of a Spherical Pellet

The results of experimental studies of a separate contact dynamic interaction of a spherical non-deformable pellet with a plastic flat metal surface at different angles of attack (20° ≤ α ≤ 90°) at high speeds (v ≈ 100m/s) are presented. A method is described for determining the nature of the viscoelastic resistance of a surface layer attacked by a pellet during contact displacement along the normal to the surface and rigid plastic resistance during tangential displacement, which can be used to establish the processing regimes of products by a mass flow of abrasive particles, in particular, shot-blasting cleaning. The results of comparing the obtained and known theoretical data with each other and with experimental studies are presented.
