In the present study, a practical method to predict cavitation erosion, which caused a critical damage on hydraulic machineries, was developed. Impact and critical velocities were defined to develop a practical method for the prediction of cavitation erosion. To develope the practical method, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was introduced. Cavitating flows with erosion in a converging-diverging nozzle and around a hydrofoil were simulated by developed and validated code. Based on the CFD results, the cavitation erosion coefficient was derived by a curve fitting method. The cavitation erosion coefficient was formulated as the function of the cavitation and Reynolds numbers. A cavitating flow in an axisymmetric nozzle followed by radial divergence was simulated to validate the developed practical method. For the application to a propeller, a cavitating flow around a propeller was simulated. Predicted damage extent showed similar with damaged full-scale propeller blade.

Cavitation erosion-corrosion implies damage to materials due to the shock pressure or shock wave that results when bubbles form and collapse at a metal surface within a liquid. If the liquids corrosive to the material, a condition typically encountered in industry, the component materials may suffer serious damage by a combination of mechanical and electrochemical attack. To suppress cavitation erosion as well as cavitation erosion-corrosion to hydraulic equipments, innovations such as the improvement in the geometric design of the equipment or the selection of suitably resistant construction materials are necessary. This study was tested by using the piezoelectric vibrator with 20kHz, 24${\mu}$m for cavitation generation. And also, the vibratory cavitation erosion-corrosion tests on commercial mild steel SS41were carried out. We carefully observed the erosion pattern and surface photography.

In this study, optimal shot peening process conditions were investigated for improving the cavitation erosion resistance of gray cast iron under a marine environment. Shot peening was performed with variables of injection pressure and injection time. The durability was then evaluated through cavitation erosion test which was conducted according to the modified ASTM G-32 standard. The tendency of cavitation erosion damage according to shot peening process condition was investigated through weight loss rate, surface and cross-sectional analysis of the specimen before and after the test. As a result, the shot peening process condition that could minimize cavitation erosion was when the injection pressure was the lowest and when the injection time was the shortest. This was because the flake graphite exposed on the gray cast iron surface could be easily removed under such condition. Therefore, the notch effect can be prevented by surface modification. In addition, the cavitation erosion damage mechanism of gray cast iron was discussed in detail.

This study is mainly concerned with phenomenon of cavitation-erosion on the several materials and corrosive liquids which were applied with vibrator(suggested by ASTM G 32, 20KHz, 50$mu extrm{m}$). The maximum erosion rate by cavitation erosion in both of distilled water and sea water appeared to be proportioned to their hardness and tensile strength. Cavitation weight loss and rate of cast iron in sea water condition were greater(approximately 3 times) than that in distilled water condition, however in case of stainless steel and brass the cavitation weight loss of composite materials were not so different in both of their conditions. Cavitation weight loss of composite materials were shown as below on this test, Duratough DL : Weight loss in sea-water condition were greater (approximately 2.3 times) than it's distilled water condition. The main tendency of cavitation erosion for metals appeared that small damaged holes causing by cavitation erosion was observed with radial pattern. On the other hand, the tendency for composites appeared that small damaged holes were observed randomly.

본 논문은 선박 추진기의 캐비테이션 침식현상을 연구하기 위하여 추진기에서 발생하는 소음과 캐비테이션 격렬도의 연관성에 대하여 분석하였다. 캐비테이션 침식은 캐비테이션 붕괴의 빈도와 강도로 정의 할 수 있는 '캐비테이션 격렬도'와 밀접히 연관되어 있다. 캐비테이션 붕괴에 의해서 발생하는 압력파는 다양한 진폭과 지속시간의 연속적인 펄스의 형태로 나타나며 이를 캐비테이션 거동과 동조 분석하여 캐비테이션 붕괴에 따른 추진기 소음 연관성을 파악하였다. 이 기법을 경사축 추진기시험을 활용하여 추진기침식시험에 대한 정량적 평가방안을 제시하였다.

The cavitation erosion behavior of wear-resistant hardfacing alloys such as Co-base Stellite 6, Fe-base Norem 02 and new Fe-base alloy were investigated up to 50 hours by using a 20kHz vibratory cavitation erosion test equipment. The crack, initiated easily at the interfaces between matrix and hard second phase, was repressed effectively in Stellite 6 because the matrix was hardened by phase transformation. For this reason, Stellite 6 showed an excellent cavitation erosion resistance compared to Norem 02. The phase transformation also occurred in Norem 02, but the increase of volume fraction of the interfaces caused the crack to be initiated frequently, thus resulting in a 1arge material loss. The matrix of NewAlloy was hardened effectively by vlongrightarrow$\alpha$' phase transformation and the volume fraction of the interfaces was very small compared to Norem 02. This caused the propagation of crack to the matrix to be repressed effectively. Therefore, NewAlloy showed a very excellent cavitation erosion resistance. It wasn't considered that the cavitation erosion resistance of NewAlloy was influenced the temperature of the bath filled with a distilled water up to $80^{\circ}C$.

The influences of vanadium addition on the cavitation erosion resistance pf Fe-Cr-Ni-Si-C hardfacing alloy were investigated using a vibratory apparatus up to 30 hrs. It was shown that 1wt.%V additioned alloy improved the resistance to cavitation damage. However, further increase in V content up to 2wt.% reduced the cavitation erosion resistance. It was considered that the addition of V developed the cavitation erosion resistance by reducing the stacking fault energy of Fe-Cr-Ni-Si-C alloy. However, the further increase in V content seemed to reduce the cavitation erosion resistance by increasing the matrix/carbide interfacial area, which was the preferential sites of the cavitation damage.

The component materials threatened by cavitation include ship propellers as well as turbine runners, pump impellers, pipe lines and radiators. Today it is known that cavitation damage takes place on many other components including on the coding water side of the cylinder liners of diesel engines. Cavitation erosion - corrosion implies damage to materials due to the shock pressure or shock wave that results when bubbles form and collapse at a metal surface within a liquid. To suppress cavitation erosion as well as cavitation erosion - corrosion to hydraulic equipment, innovations such as the improvement in the geometric design of the equipment or the selection of suitably resistant construction materials are necessary. In this study, we investigated that the cavitation erosion - corrosion damage under vibratory cavitation can be reduced by adding of side now velocity to the cavitation bubble group in order to eliminate bubbles formed in sea water environment.

With the advent of high speed and high output diesel engines, cavitation erosion-corrosion of wet cylinder liners is one of the most prevalent types of failure. The cavitation erosion-corrosion at cylinder liners in water cooled diesel engines is considered to be to the collapse of cavitation bubbles attributed to the cylinder liner vibration. To suppress cavitation damage in cylinder liner, the addition of an inhibitor would be more general method and innovations such as the improvement in the geometric design of the equipment or the selection of suitably resistant construction materials are necessary. In this study, photomicrographs from vibratory facility cavitation specimens and from an eroded liner of a field diesel engine are compared. The behavior of cavitation bubbles grown in fluid is observed under vibration conditions by taking direct photographs with high speed camera. In order to determine the contributions of pure cavitation erosion and of pure corrosion to the total cavitation damage are be studied by following an experimental programme which includes three types of test: (1)pure cavitation erosion test, (2)pure corrosion test, and (1)cavitation erosion-corrosion test. Also cavitation damage under vibratory cavitation is reduced by using flow in tap water.
