Abstract

New results from the Polish Academy of Sciences are compared with previously published results of an ASTM interlaboratory test of the erosion effects of vibratory cavitation and liquid impact facilities on three metals. In the studies reported here vibratory and rotating disk facilities were used. A new evaluation of the results of all the tests and corresponding scaling effects has been made, and the results of erosion tests using the vibratory method, the rotating disk method, and the liquid impact method have been compared.
