Study Regarding the Good Cavitation Erosion Resistance of a 13Cr-4Ni Stainless Steel used to Manufacture the Components Exposed to Water of the Hydraulic Turbines

摘要

This paper presents some information regarding the hydraulic turbines respectively the experimental results on cavitation erosion behavior of a 13Cr-4Ni stainless steel used to manufacture the components exposed to water of the Francis, Kaplan and Pelton hydraulic turbines. So, the presented experimental results of this paper highlight the good cavitation erosion resistance of the analyzed 13Cr-4Ni stainless steel.
