The Impact

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.

Impact Erosion

The behaviour of established and potential turbine blade and erosion shield materials subject to impact erosion by water droplets of controlled size has been investigated over a range of impact velocities up to 1040 ft./s. Both the topographical form and the microstructural characteristics of damage have been studied, and correlated with the conditions of the test and the mechanical properties and phase constitution of the materials. It has been found that the rate of erosion, as measured by mass loss, changes during the course of a test. An initial incubation period is generally followed, successively, by periods of increasing, constant, and then decreasing rates of erosion, possibly culminating in a second steady, but lower, rate of erosion.

Shape Changes

Our object is to present a broad review of this subject as a branch of hydrodynamics, referring both to the well known ‘implosion’ mechanism first analysed by Lord Rayleigh and, more particularly, to the recently perceived possibility that effects of equally great violence, such as to damage solid boundaries, may arise through the impact of liquid jets formed by collapsing cavities. In §2 a few practical facts about cavitation damage are recalled by way of background, and then in §3 the significance of available theoretical and experimental information about cavity collapse is discussed. The main exposition of new ideas is in §4, which is a review of the factors contributing to shape changes and eventual jet formation by collapsing cavities. Finally, in §5, some new experimental observations on the unsymmetrical collapse of vapour-filled cavities are presented.

Turbine Blading

Efficient expansion of steam in turbines cools the vapour to the point where it becomes wet. As turbines become larger the higher blading speeds employed lead to erosion damage of the blading as a result of impact with accumulated water in the form of drops. The distribution of this damage in the turbine is discussed. The processes of drop formation, release and subsequent motion before impact with the moving blades are described and the application of this knowledge to practical design is illustrated by particular examples.

Rain Erosion

A rotating arm apparatus capable of circumferential speeds up to 475 m/s (Mach 1.4) has been used to make quantitative measurements of the velocity and angle dependence of ram erosion for a wide range of materials. It has been possible to relate the mechanical properties of some materials with their rain erosion resistance. The behaviour of the drops during impact has been studied by high speed photography.

The results of the research of structure and properties of a composite compact from 13 Cr – 2 Мо and BN powders depending on the concentration of boron nitride are provided. It is shown that adding boron nitride in an amount of more than 2% by weight of the charge mixture leads to the formation of extended grain boundary porosity and finely dispersed BN layers in the structure, which provides a high level of wearing properties of the material. The effect of boron nitride concentration on physical and mechanical properties is determined. It was found that the introduction of a small amount of BN (up to 2 % by weight) into the compacts leads to an increase in plasticity, bending strength, and toughness by reducing the friction forces between the metal powder particles during pressing and a more complete grain boundary diffusion process during sintering. The formation of a regulated structure-phase composition of powder compacts of 13 Cr – 2 Mо – BN when the content of boron nitride changes in them allows us to provide the specified physical and mechanical properties in a wide range. The obtained results of studies of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the developed material allow us to reasonably choose the necessary composition of the powder compact for sealing structures of the flow part of steam turbines, depending on their operating conditions.

The Impact

This paper proposes and presents the chemical modification of linear hydroxyethers (LHE) with different molecular weights (380, 640, and 1830 g/mol) with the addition of three types of rubbers (polysulfide rubber (PSR), polychloroprene rubber (PCR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)). The main purpose of choosing this type of modification and the materials used was the possibility to use it in industrial settings. The modification process was conducted for a very wide range of modifier additions (rubber) per 100 g LHE. The materials obtained in the study were subjected to strength tests in order to determine the effect of the modification on functional properties. Mechanical properties of the modified materials were improved after the application of the modifier (rubber) to polyhydroxyether (up to certain modifier content). The most favorable changes in the tested materials were registered in the modification of LHE-1830 with PSR. In the case of LHE-380 and LHE-640 modified in cyclohexanol (CH) and chloroform (CF) solutions, an increase in the values of the tested properties was also obtained, but to a lesser extent than for LHE-1830. The largest changes were registered for LHE-1830 with PSR in CH solution: from 12.1 to 15.3 MPa for compressive strength tests, from 0.8 to 1.5 MPa for tensile testing, from 0.8 to 14.7 MPa for shear strength, and from 1% to 6.5% for the maximum elongation. The analysis of the available literature showed that the modification proposed by the authors has not yet been presented in any previous scientific paper.

The Impact

If a small cavity or bubble in a liquid is subject to impact or to shock, tiny Munroe jets may be formed on its concave surface. The velocity of these microjets may be high. A short film illustrating the formation of these small jets in cavities and in coalescing drops was shown.
