1.0 INTRODUCTION: AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel is widely used as engineering materials due to its high strength and good corrosion resistance properties. However‚ AISI 304L stainless steel undergoes extensive wear and erosion when applied as components in aggressive environments such as petro- chemical and marine atmosphere [1]. Solid particle erosion is defined as the progressive loss of material from a solid surface due to mechanical interaction between the surface and some fluid entrained
