As the scale factor of model propellers utilized in cavitation test is about 40, it is difficult to find out practical countermeasures against the small area erosions on the blade tip region throughout model erosion tests. In this study, a partial propeller blade model was used for the observation of cavitation pattern for the eroded propeller. A partial propeller blade model was manufactured from 0.7R to tip with expanded profile and with adjustable device of angle of attack. Reynold's number of a partial propeller blade model is 7 times larger than that of a model propeller. Also, anti-singing edge and application of countermeasures to partial propeller blade model which produced in large scale can be more practical than a model propeller. For the observation of cavitation at high Reynold's number, high speed cavitation tunnel was used. To find out the most severe erosive blade position during a revolution, cavitation observation tests were carried out at 5 blade angle positions.

알루미늄 호일 부식 실험을 이용하여 초음파 토양 세척 공정의 설계를 위한 기초 연구가 수행되었다. 36 kHz 초음파 발생 모듈이 하부에 장착된 대형 초음파 반응기에 파이렉스 재질의 소형 반응기를 위치시키고 글라스 비드 크기(1, 2, 4 mm), 파이렉스 반응기 내 글라스 비드 높이(5, 10, 15, 20 mm), 글라스 비드 위 물 높이(5, 10, 15, 20 mm) 등의 다양한 조건에서 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 글라스 비드의 입자 크기가 클수록, 글라스 비드 위 수위가 증가할수록 알루미늄 호일의 부식 정도가 크게 증가하였는데 이는 입자가 클수록 빈 공간이 많이 생겨 초음파 감쇠 현상이 덜 일어나게 되기 때문이며, 또한 수위가 증가할수록 동일한 에너지 유입 조건에서 초음파 캐비테이션 현상이 보다 활성화되기 때문으로 판단되었다. 그러나 글라스 비드를 지나면서 초음파 감쇠 현상이 심하게 일어나 알루미늄 호일의 부식 정도가 상대적으로 매우 약하게 확인되어 부식이 활발하게 일어나는 반응기 하부, 즉 심각한 초음파 감쇠 현상이 일어나지 않는 바닥 부분으로 입자들을 지속적으로 보낼 수 있는 기계적 교반 등의 방안이 제안되었다.

The Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) overlaying method is lately introduced as one of the most useful surface modification method of the engine component. In this paper, the characteristics of the Co-base and Ni-base super alloy overlay layers by PTA method were investigated through the metallurgical, abrasive and cavitation erosion test. Experimental results showed that the abrasive wear resistance of the Co-base Stellite 6 overlayer was the most superior and followed in order of Nimonic 80A, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718. However, the cavitation erosion characteristic of the Stellite 6 overlayer was the most inferior and it was better in order of Inconel 625, Inconel 718 and Nimonic 80A.

We developed a 'multi-point vibration acceleration method' for accurately predicting the cavitation intensity in pumps. Pressure wave generated by cavitation bubble collapse propagates and causes pump vibration. We measured vibration accelerations at several points on a casing, suction and discharge pipes of centrifugal and mixed-flow pumps. The measured vibration accelerations scattered because the pressure wave damped differently between the bubble collapse location and each sensor. In a conventional method, experimental constants are proposed without evaluating pressure propagation paths, then, the scattered vibration accelerations cause the inaccurate cavitation intensity. In our method, we formulated damping rate, transmittance of the pressure wave, and energy conversion from the pressure wave to the vibration along assumed pressure propagation paths. In the formulation, we theoretically defined a 'pressure propagation coefficient,' which is a correlation coefficient between the vibration acceleration and the bubble collapse pressure. With the pressure propagation coefficient, we can predict the cavitation intensity without experimental constants as proposed in a conventional method. The prediction accuracy of cavitation intensity is improved based on a statistical analysis of the multi-point vibration accelerations. The predicted cavitation intensity was verified with the plastic deformation rate of an aluminum sheet in the cavitation erosion area of the impeller blade. The cavitation intensities were proportional to the measured plastic deformation rates for three kinds of pumps. This suggests that our method is effective for estimating the cavitation intensity in pumps. We can make a cavitation intensity map by conducting this method and varying the flow rate and the net positive suction head (NPSH). The map is useful for avoiding the operating conditions having high risk of cavitation erosion.

In this paper, the characteristics of a cavitation-erosion damage behavior on the STS 304 and hot-dip aluminized STS 304 under cavitation environment in sea water solution was investigated. The electrochemical experiments were carried out by potential measurement, anodic/cathodic polarization test, Tafel analysis, and also galvanostatic experiment in current density variables for the samples. The apparatus of cavitation-electrochemical experiment was manufactured in compliance with modified ASTM G-32 standard, with the conditions of sea water temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and the measurement, amplitude of $30{\mu}m$. The damage behavior was analyzed by an observation of surface mophologies and a measurement of damage depth by a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and a 3D microscope, respectively, after electrochemical test. After polarization experiment under cavitation environment, much higher damage depths for the hot-dip aluminized STS 304 were observed comparing to the untreated STS 304. In addition, higher corrosion current density in hot-dip aluminized STS 304 presented than that of untreated STS 304 as a result of Tafel analysis.

This work presents the numerical investigation of an unsteady cavitating flow around a balancing drum of a multistage pump. The main attention is focused on the cavitation phenomena, which occur in the rear part of the drum clearance, cause the erosion of the drum material and influence the pressure losses and the flow rate through the clearance. The one-way coupling of the URANS equations and the full Rayleigh-Plesset equation is employed to analyse the flow field as well as the dynamics of cavitating bubbles. The numerical simulations show that the erosion processes are highly influenced by shaft vibrations, namely by periodic deformations of the annular clearance in time. The calculated results are verified by erosion tests on a real pump.

모든 타이타늄 합금은 해수의 흐름에 잘 견디어 진흙이 쌓인 해수에서 4~5m/sec의 속도까지 erosion corrosion에 대해 잘 견딘다. Grade 5 합금처럼 경도가 높을수록, 강도가 높을수록 최적의 erosion 및 cavitation 저항을 보유하므로 극히 중요한 핵심부품인 Hydrofoil부품, 추진부품, 프로펠러, 펌프 등 해수의 심한 부딪힘 등 erosion corrosion을 받는 부품에 대해 아주 매력적인 재료로 고려되고 있다
