“…Interpretation is hampered by a lack of very short-time exposure data, but the positive intercept implies localized erosion damage of susceptible areas occurs very quickly. This explanation is consistent with previous results indicating the [4][5][6]16 development of surface roughness and shallow pits after a very few pressure cycles.…”

“…In particular, tests in the energy density range of beam pulses for SNS showed cavitation erosion. Many of these test apparatuses and the results of some of their respective experiments are documented in the proceedings of the earlier workshop in this series [37]. The most recent test results from the JAERI work are reported in a paper contained in the present proceedings [38].…”
“…More recently, a team of researchers at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) observed pitting of stainless steel surfaces that were in contact with mercury subjected to large mechanically-induced pressure pulses of the same magnitude as those expected at full-power pulses in SNS [8][9][10]. In view of the JAERI results, targets used in pulsed proton beam tests before 2001 were examined, but because no pretest inspections had been performed, it was not possible to distinguish between beam-induced pits and other imperfections in the surface of the materials.…”

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.
