Study on Cavitation Erosion Behavior of Monel Alloys in the Simulated Seawater Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cavitation erosion test of Monel-400 and MonelK-500 alloys was carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution using an ultrasonic induced cavitation facility. The microstructure, composition and mechanism of cavitation erosion were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and induction balance, respectively. The results showed that Monel-400 alloy was single austenitic phase while MonelK-500 alloy contained Ni3Al intermetallics and its improvement in cavitation erosion resistance could be attributed to the higher hardness and density of the grain and twinning boundaries. In a series of 5h cavitation tests, the cumulative mass loss of Monel-400 alloy was 44.5 mg, which was 1.66 times than that of MonelK-500(26.8mg). No apparent incubation period was observed and the damage mechanism was plastic deformation and rupture.
