Description

With financial support provided by C.E.A./Cadarache Professor F.G. HAMMITT has reported cavitation data from tests on sodium with a vibratory facility (20 kHz, 51μm double amplitude) over the temperature range 300-5000C at a suppression pressure of 3 bar on a reference material 316L stainless steel. The tests were designed to compare: 1.) The effects of sodium temperature variation over the range 3000C, 5000C on cavitation erosion. 2.) The cavitation erosion resistance in liquid sodium of special materials such as stellite 6-B, Colmonoy 6, Hard Chrome, and Carborundom LW-5 with the standard reference material Stainless Steel type 316L.
