9、ngs of whichwere published as STP 307.As a direct result of the interest stimulatedby that Symposium,Technical Committee G-2 was established,and the1966 Symposium was the first to be held under its sponsorship.In 1961six papers were presented;the 1966 Symposium heard eighteen presen-tations,includin
10、g six from abroad.Of these ten are contained in thisvolume;some of the others will eventually appear in other ASTM pub-lications.There have been many symposia dealing with cavitation as a fluidflow phenomenon as well as a damage-producing phenomenon.Curi-ously though,there had been a notable lack of
11、 communication in thiscountry(though not in Europe)between those concerned with cavita-tion damage and those concerned with liquid impingement damage.The two ASTM Symposia are,to the best of my knowledge,the first inthis country to focus on the damage mechanism and the material responseto it,and thu
12、s on the common aspect of cavitation and impingementattackfor it is now widely(though not universally)accepted that theprincipal direct cause of damage in both instances is the mechanicalstressing due to the high-speed impact of a liquid surface upon a solidsurface,though corrosion can,certainly,ent
13、er the picture under ap-propriate conditions and mechanical and chemical effects can reinforceeach other.The mechanical stress theory was proposed by Cook in 1928,but over the years there have been many who doubted the possibility ofsufficiently high mechanical stresses and postulated principally ch
14、emicalmechanisms or a variety of other more fanciful mechanisms.I believethat the days of wild conjecture are over and that investigators todayat least talk the same language and agree on the kind of quesions to ask.This is not to say that all stimulating disputes have vanished:such stillexist,as fo
15、r instance concerning the exact nature of the interaction be-tween mechanical and corrosive effects,and the exact meaning of thevarious phases observed in erosion rate-time histories.i 2 EROSION BY CAVITATION OR IMPINGEMENTASTM is interested in the properties of materials and the ways ofdefining,tes
16、ting,prescribing,and controlling these properties.Thus,naturally,we are interested not only in the mechanism of erosion,butin how the resistance of materials to erosion can be objectively defined,how it can best be tested,and how test results should be interpreted,andwhether this property can be correlated with other known material prop-erties.Also of interest is the influence of the physical as well as chemicalproperties of the impinging liquid.All of these points are still in need offurther en
