主　　题：cavitation damage galvanic effect area ratio mass loss 

摘      要：Based on the electric-spark principle, a new kind of cavitation damagetesting apparatus was designed, which could produce the bubble. Bubbles collapsed and acted on asmall surface area of the alloy surface, so an intensive electrochemical inhomogenous state would beinduced and lead to the existence of surface galvanic effect on the alloy. The galvanic effect of1Cr13 SS during cavitation damage has been quantitatively investigated in NaCl solution. The resultsshow that intensive galvanic effect of 1Cr13 SS during cavitation damage appears the potential ofthe damaged area shifting negatively with the bubble collapse and simultaneously the galvaniccurrent generates. The mass loss of alloy due to cavitation increases with the bubble quantity, andincreases with the increasing of Cl- content. And both the total mass loss and the mass loss due togalvanic corrosion increase linearly with the area ratio of cavitation damaged to undamaged *** surface galvanic effects speed up the dissolution rate of the alloy, which, in turn,accelerates the mechanical damage, and aggravates the mass loss of the alloy. It has been furtherconfirmed that the mass loss due to the surface galvanic effect can be decreased by catholicprotection.
