Research Progress on Cavitation-corrosion of Metallic Materials postprint

Abstract: The current status of study on cavitation corrosion of metal materials was comprehensively reviewed with emphasis on experimental methods and the cavitation corrosion behavior of several typical metals (iron, copper, stainless steel, titanium, shape memory alloy). The effects of mechanical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and surface morphology of materials as well as the parameters of external environment on the cavitation corrosion behavior of metal materials were introduced. Moreover, the directions for further study on cavitation corrosion of metallic materials are also suggested.
