Abstract
Vibratory cavitation erosion tests were used to investigate the cavitation erosion wear of electroless nickel phosphorus in the as-deposited and heat-treated conditions in distilled water and 3% NaCl water. Heat-treatment reduced the mass loss due to cavitation in salt water, and in distilled water the behaviour was irregular. Salt in the water decreased greatly the induction time before a fast erosion rate occured, and increased the mass loss by up to 12.2 times. Surface profile and metallographic studies suggest that the major effect of salt in the water is to give a greatly enhanced corrosion rate.
