The cavitation damage characteristics of austenitic stainless steel with different concentrations of Ti were investigated. The microstructure of the alloys was observed with optical microscope to identify its correlation with cavitation resistance. Hardness of the alloys was measured to examine its contribution to cavitation damage. It was found that the microstructure played a more significant role in cavitation damage behavior of austenitic stainless steel with Ti than the hardness. The findings in this study revealed that Ti addition in austenitic stainless steel may present either a beneficial or detrimental effect on cavitation damage behavior, depending on the microstructural characteristics. In particular, Ti content of 1.0% represented the most deteriorated cavitation characteristics due to the formation of relatively coarse precipitates. Therefore, control of Ti concentration is essential for marine application of austenitic stainless steel.

Continuous efforts to construct high-speed and lightweight ship have been made to reduce cost against growing oil prices. In this context, aluminum has received attention as an alternative material for steel, for small and medium-sized ships. In an effort to extend service life of aluminum, various researches have been attempting to improve the corrosion resistance and anti-corrosion characteristics by applying heat treatment and alloying. The material, however, has a high probability of being attacked by corrosion and erosion, caused by high ship speed in severe marine environments. Cavitation damage is dependent on several important factors, such as shape of objects, surface roughness, rotation speed, fluid pressure and velocity. Vapor pressure, density and surface tension of fluid are also taken into account. In this study, an electrochemical cavitation erosion-corrosion experiment was conducted as a function of solution temperature and applied amplitude for 5083-O aluminum alloy used commercially as a hull material for a small sized ship. The result of the experiment revealed that the damage was accelerated due to synergistic effect of corrosion and erosion as the solution temperature was elevated, and that the weight loss showed a steady increase with increasing time of cavitation.
