Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Tin bronze OTsSN3-7-5-1, which has a low cavitation and corrosion—cavitation resistance, should be replaced with more resistant alloys in marine pumps.

  2. 2.

    Of the alloys tested, the corrosion—cavitation resistance in sea water is highest for bronze AZhMts 10-3-1.5, which can be considered a cavitation resistant alloy.

  3. 3.

    Alloys for hydraulic applications should be selected on the basis of cavitation and corrosion—cavitation resistance.
