[La] cavitation provoque une érosion très active [...] qui a été l'objet de très nombreuses théories. [...] Les phénomènes de fatigue des matériaux sous l'action des chocs qui peuvent se produire jusqu'à des fréquences de 1 000 Hz (hertz) sont de loin les causes principales de l'érosion par cavitation. Cette érosion impose la recherche d'un régime d'emploi des machines hydrauliques évitant la cavitation. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9rosion%20par%20cavitation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
corrosion par cavitation : On peut conclure avec certitude que seuls des phénomènes d'origine mécanique sont cause de l'érosion par cavitation et qu'en particulier les processus chimiques n'y jouant aucun rôle, il est impropre de parler de corrosion par cavitation. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9rosion%20par%20cavitation
