| Abstract: | Cavitation Erosion Tests with Polyamid-Specimens and Stainless-Steel-Specimens The Darmstadt vibratory cavitation erosion method, cavitation tests were performed on two materials: a proven chromium-nickel alloy and a recently introduced polyamid grade. Time studies based on the above test method resulted in pronounced damage to the chromium-nickel alloy, as documented in mass loss curves and specimen surface pictures. In contrast, all polyamid specimens sustained no damage, i.e. no mass loss, no surface damage resulted. |
