Cavitation Erosion Behavior of the Antifriction Alloy YSn83

Abstract

This paper presents the cavitation erosion research of the antifriction alloy YSn83 regarding on its behavior in laboratory. The antifriction alloy YSn83 is not subject to cavitation erosion in its practical applications, as is happening in reality at the materials used in hydraulic turbines, valves, piping; but the experimental tests for this material, highlight the laboratory research on its behavior by means of images and graphs in this paper. The laboratory tests were performed in accordance with the standards G32-92 (Standard Method of Vibratory Cavitation Erosion Test) and G32-10 (Standard Test Method for Cavitation Erosion Using Vibratory Apparatus).

Study of the Behavior to Cavitation Erosion of Some Bronzes with Varying Percentages of Sn and Pb

“…In lab research of "Eftimie Murgu" University of Resita, many materials were tested for the cavitation erosion behavior of different types of materials such as: antifriction alloy: YSn83 [7], gray cast iron: flake graphite cast iron (GG) (EN-GJL) and spheroidal graphite cast iron (GGG) (EN-GJS) [8] respectively stainless steel: X3CrNi13-4 [9].…”
