The double erosion of interplanetary dust particles due to both the impact erosion by non-catastrophic collisions and corpuscular sputtering, caused by solar wind particles, is investigated. The erosion process as a whole is devided into three phases according to the prevailing efficiency of the two effects. Computations made for a few models according to the physical characteristics of colliding particles show that the double erosion may strongly affect not only the dynamics but also the lifetimes of the particles. The comparison of the Poynting-Robertson and double erosion lifetimes shows that double erosion may be at least as effective as other dust decay processes.
