Abstract
A wide range of materials, including aluminum, copper-based alloys, and stainless steel, were studied to correlate mechanical properties with cavitation erosion rates. Cavitation erosion tests using a cavitating jet apparatus showed that AA 6063 aluminum had the highest maximum erosion rate (MER), 171 times higher than bronze, the most erosion-resistant material. Mechanical tests, including microhardness, depth-sensing indentation, quasi-static, and high-strain rate tests, revealed that cavitation erosion does not correlate with a single property. Results indicated that MER increases with decreasing hardness, plastic indentation work, and wear resistance index. Furthermore, quasi-static and high-strain rate tests showed that MER increases with decreasing toughness, ultimate strength, and flow stress. This study offers comprehensive insights into the cavitation erosion behavior of materials.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
