Scientific paper

This paper describes the early stages of cavitation damage observed in cavitating venturi tunnels. The cavitating fluids were water and mercury, and a wide range of specimen materials were used. The damage was found to consist of single-event symmetical craters and irregular fatigue-type failures. The degree of damage was highly sensitive to minor flow perturbations, and this is discussed. The effect of stress level in the specimen before testing, and relations between cavitation resistance and the mechanical properties of the materials are considered.
