Abstract
The cavitation erosion of mild steel, brass, and pure iron in emulsions made with distilled water and 1.0% NaCl solution was investigated using a vibratory apparatus operating at 20 kHz and 15 μm amplitude. The emulsion reduced the steady-state erosion rate of mild steel in distilled and salt water to about 80% and 30%, respectively, of the values for no emulsion, but had no effect on brass in distilled water. Changes in the microstructures of the eroded surfaces and in the pH of the solution are presented and discussed in relation to the erosion curves.
