Abstract

The paper presents a comparative study regarding the behavior of copper and aluminum alloys during cavitation erosion tests where the results were obtained using an ultrasound installation. The ultrasound installation means (in this case) a cavitation stand (described in the paper) from the „Eftimie Murgu” University of Resita. The tested specimens, each with sizes of 16x16 mm, were taken from copper respectively aluminum alloys castings were analyzed to compare the cavitation erosion resistance and the metallographic structure.

Key Words   
Copper and aluminum alloys, cavitation erosion resistance, metallographic structu
