title = "Microstructural phenomena occurring during early stages of cavitation erosion of Al-Si aluminium casting alloys",
abstract = "The researches have concerned cavitation erosion of AlSi7Mg and AlSi11Mg aluminium casting alloys. The alloys have been investigated in the as-cast condition and after the precipitation hardening. The cavitation erosion tests were performed using vibratory cavitation erosion equipment in 5 minutes. Resistance to cavitation of tested materials was estimated by means of MDE (mean depth of erosion) parameter according to ASTM G32. After the cavitation tests eroded surface of the specimens has been observed by means of scanning electron microscopy. The roughness of the surface was measured on profile contact tester. The best resistance for cavitation erosion exhibited AlSi7Mg alloy after heat treatment, the weakest AlSi11Mg alloy in as-cast condition.",
