The paper considers a method of assessing the cavitation-erosion wear resistance of metals, which can be used to obtain data on the cavitation-erosion wear resistance of materials and coatings in laboratory conditions, which correspond to the data of operational tests. The essence of the method is the intensification of corrosion processes during cavitation-erosive wear of samples on a magneto-strictive vibrator (MSV) with the help of their anodic polarization. The value of the polarization current is found by the values of the coefficient of amplification of the mechanical factor of the destruction of the surface during tests on a magneto-strictive vibrator (MSV) and the data of field tests. Corrosion current in a given environment is found during full-scale tests. To reduce the labor intensity and time of research, operational data is obtained on a specially designed and manufactured installation, which is a simplified version of a hydrodynamic tube (HT). The developed assessment method applies only to corrosive electrolyte environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
