Probability that a material will undergo cavitation erosion

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The probability for cavitation erosion has been obtained as a function of the time, the parameters of the external effect, and the physicomechanical properties of the material. The behavior of unstable steels is predicted theoretically for prolonged use under intense cavitation conditions. It is shown that the destruction of unstable materials having a relatively large number of intermediate unstable phases during plastic deformation is relatively improbable under otherwise equal conditions. A normal distribution law is established experimentally for the cavitation pressure-amplitude pulsations.
