Analysis of Cavitation Erosion Resistance of Cast Iron and Nonferrous Metals Based on Database and Comparison with Carbon Steel Data

Evaluation of cavitation erosion resistance of Al-Si casting alloys: effect of eutectic and intermetallic phases

“…Typical components that can be exposed to cavitation erosion are hydrofoils, pipelines, hydraulic pumps, and valves [1]. Various studies are available in scientific literature regarding the characterization of cavitation erosion resistance of different alloys, as such as steels [6][7], cast irons [8], titanium and nickel alloys [3,[9][10]. Furthermore, numerous attempts to develop cavitation erosion models based on bulk mechanical properties [11][12][13] were performed in order to predict the erosion performance of metallic materials.…”

“…For this reason, over the years, several studies have been performed in order to investigate the cavitation erosion resistance also of aluminum alloys and to correlate it to microstructural and mechanical properties. Concerning the family of wrought alloys, various alloys belonging to the Al-Cu, Al-Mg, Al-Si-Mg or Al-Zn-Mg families were tested in different conditions [14,17] taking also into account the influence of real erosion environments, as for instance the presence of aggressive fluids or slurries [8,18]. For casting alloys, in general, it was found that Al alloys resistance is strongly affected by several microstructural properties, as such as grain size, number of interfaces between different phases, presence and morphology of secondary phases [14][15][19][20].…”

Dynamic flow behavior during fuel-offloaded process in control valve for unit pump fuel system

“…This greatly http influences on the performances of the fuel injection system. Cavitation causes a great deal of noise, vibrations, a loss of efficiency, and erosion damage on surfaces of the mechanical components [3,4]. Cavitation reduces volumetric efficiency, induces pressure fluctuation, and deteriorates flow capacity and precise pressure control [5].…”

Energy, Transportation and Global Warming

“…Sharma and others in 2003, they gathered some useful information to help us comprehend the commencement of cavitation observed in propellers, measurement of sound of cavitation, number of cavitation, geometry of propellers and cavitation of turbulence much better (Sharma et al 2003). During a survey conducted in 2010, the resistance of cast-iron against cavitation as well as the resistance of other metals except for iron against cavitation were examined and the obtained values were compared to the rates of carbon steel (Hattori and Kitagawa 2010). In a study conducted by X. Y. Li and others, the inspection and examination of using copper-manganese and aluminum alloys used for the method of welding to repair a vessel propeller exposed to cavitation was performed (Li et al 2004 and the cavitation which on the rudder tiller to the increase of cavitation in line with the acceleration of the speed of vessel were examined (Rhee et al 2010).…”
