The paper deals with experimental investigation of erosive wear of acrylic coating. The research was carried out on the erosive wear under the influence of alundum particles (grain size of 0.6 – 0.7 mm) striking the coatings at the angle of 45 degrees. It was established that intensity of the erosive wear (under the influence of free falling alundum particles) essentially depends on velocity of erosive particle at the moment of its impact against coating surface. For example, for the lowest velocity value (3.6 m/s) at the moment of impact, erosive wear intensity was equal to 0.4 mm/kg, while for the largest velocity value (5.3 m/s), the intensity doubled in magnitude. The characteristic of erosive wear intensity, depending on erosive particle velocity, was generated by using second-degree polynomial.
