Abstract
Two kinds of Ti-alloys, i.e., Al–5Ti and Al–10Ti alloys, were manufactured in this study, and their ultrasonic cavitation erosion behaviors in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were evaluated by the cumulative mass loss, scanning electronic micrograph, and three-dimensional morphology. The results show that mass loss and surface damage of the Al, Al–5Ti, and Al–10Ti alloys obviously increased with the increasing cavitation erosion time. Compared with the pure Al, the cavitation resistance of the Al–5Ti and Al–10Ti alloys was improved because of the presence of the TiAl3 phase. In addition, the synergistic effect between cavitation and corrosion of the Al–Ti alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was studied according to the polarization curve of the moving electrode. The mass loss caused by the synergistic effect between cavitation erosion and corrosion accounted for a large percentage, 23.59%, indicating that corrosion has a critical impact on the cavitation erosion of the Al–Ti alloys. Compared with corrosion promoted by cavitation erosion, the cavitation erosion promoted by corrosion had a larger promoting effect.
