Structural factors governing steel resistance during operation in corrosive media under cavitation conditions

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

Maraging steels treated for maximum hardness or overaging exhibit high cavitation-corrosion resistance in acid solutions as a result high strength and resistance to microcrack initiation and propagation, whose develoment is typical for the stage of intense cavitation. In view of this, in order to improve the endurance of components operating under cavitation conditions in corrosive media, and to reduced equipment stoppages for repair, it is recommended that high alloy austenitic corrosion-resistant steels are substituted by maraging steels.
