EFFECT OF CORROSION ON CAVITATION DAMAGE PROCESS
金属材料空蚀过程中的腐蚀作用

This paper discusses the research achievements of cavitation damage mechanisms.Although there is enormous literatures concerned with the mechanical effects causing cavitation damage.However,corrosive effects, which plays an important role in the process of the cavitation damage, are seldom studied. The cavitation damage is actually caused by the combination of mechanical and corrosive effects. In order to obtain a complete understanding of the mechanisms, additional research about interactive mechanism of corrosive and mechanical effects and the quantitative relationships between the two effects are required. This paper has proposed a new assumption by which the interplay of corrosion and mechanical effects can be understood.
