Cavitation tests were carried out with the use of a cavitation erosion vibratory apparatus employing a vibration exciter operated at frequency of 20 kHz. The study allowed to determine the sequence of subsequent stages in which microstr ucture of cast iron in superficial regions is subject to degradation. The first features to be damaged are graphite precipitates. The ferritic matrix of the alloy turned out to be definitely less resistant to cavitation erosion compared to the pearlitic matrix component.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Cavitation Erosion of Nodular Cast Iron − Microstructural Effects}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/104584/PDF/afe-2017-0141.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2017-0141}, keywords={Wear resistant alloys, nodular cast iron, cavitation erosion, Distilled water}, }
