Abstract

The cavitation erosion resistance of EN-GJS-400-15 nodular cast iron was tested in the laboratory according to ASTM G32- 2010 standard. The erosion average penetration depth values, MDE, were correlated with the roughness parameters and the microstructure of the samples subjected to volume heat treatments consisting from stress relieving and for softening, annealing, normalization and quenching followed by tempering. The results obtained showed that the changes in the surface roughness of the samples tested at cavitation can be used to predict the resistance of the material to this wear phenomenon.
