Notes:
An apparatus that is capable of producing repeated impacts of erodent particles on a solid surface, in vacuum or controlled atmospheres, is described. It was developed specifically to correct the deficiencies of previous designs. It consists of an electromagnet, a laminated iron core, and an aluminum launcher (sabot), all contained in a sturdy frame that fits easily into a bell-jar vacuum system. Particle velocities can be readily varied over the range 3–100 m/s, with incidence angles from 10° to 90°. Such a device should find application in fundamental studies of solid-particle erosion. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
