각종 환경 조건에서 진동 캐비테이션 침식-부식 시험 장치에 의해 연강(SS41)의 캐비테이션 침식-부식 손상 거동에 관한 연구를 한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 해수 중에서 캐비테이션 침식-부식 손상 거동은 중앙부와 테두리 부에서 거의 비슷한 정도로 발생하여 성장되지만, 증류수 중에서는 테두리부에서 손상이 먼저 발생한 다음 중앙부에도 손상이 점차 일어난다. 2) 비저항이 낮은 수도수 중의 캐비테이션 침식-부식 손상은 초기에는 비저항이 높은 증류수중에서의 것보다 증가하지만 시간이 경과하면서 CaCO 하(3)의 피막 형성에 의해 둔화된다. 3) 케비테이션 침식-부식 손상 특성은 잠복기, 증가기, 감소기 및 안정기의 4단계로 구분된다.

Cavitation erosion-corrosion implies damage to materials due to the shock pressure or shock wave that results when bubbles form and collapse at a metal surface within a liquid. If the liquid is corrosive to the material, a condition typically encountered in industry, the component materials may suffer serious damage by a combination of mechanical and electrochemical attack. In this study, the mild steel(SS41) was tested by using the piezoelectric vibrator with 20kHz, 24μm to cavity generation apparatus. The damage behaviour of vibration cavitation erosion-corrosion and the environment characteristics were investigated in various solutions which are seawater, tap water and distilled water. The main results obtained are as follows; 1) The cavitation erosion-corrosion damage behaviour in the seawater increases to occur at the equal degree on the middle portion and the outside portion of specimen. The distilled water specimen, on other hand, occurs beginning on the outside portion across to the middle portion of specimen. 2) The cavitation erosion-corrosion damage in the tap water of low specific resistance more increases than that in the distilled water of high specific resistance at the initial testing time and more decreases than that in it by the CaCO sub(3) film with testing time. 3) Cavitation erosion-corrosion damage characteristic divides into four regions; incubation region, acceleration region, deceleration region and steady state region.
