The article analyses the structure of cavitated areas of the ship propeller blades made from aluminum bronzes with different composition. The most informative zones of cavitation wear are the cold-hardening zone and the peripheral one that help estimate the mechanical parameters causing the cavities to collapse. The dents formed on the metal surface in the process of hydrodynamic cavitation wear have spherical parts on their bottoms, in which it is possible to inscribe a circle of a definite diameter. There were conducted the experiments on forcing the ball indentors into the surface of different metal alloys. The first run of the experiments includes forcing of a steel ball with a diameter of 1.588 mm into the surface of 33 alloys with different hardness under the loads of 1 470, 980 and 588 N. The impression diameters were measured using Brinell magnifying glass. There has been found the power dependence between deformation of dents on the metals tested under hydrodynamic cavitation and hardness of the materials, which is similar to the dependence of deformation after forcing the ball indentors into the alloys of different hardness. The second run of the experiments included modeling the cold-hardening zone of the cavitation wear area by repeated forcing the ball indentors with the diameters of 1.588, 2.5, 3.175 and 5.0 mm into the bronze BrAZhNMts9-4-4-1 plates with area of 100 × 50 × 20 mm. Forcing was made into the side 100 × 50 mm previously ground and polished. The equal strain rate in impressions of different diameters was observed during forcing. A direct proportional relationship was obtained between the arithmetic mean deviation of the surface profile and the indenter diameter. The arithmetical mean deviation of the assessed profile of the side plotted against the ball indentor yields a direct proportional relationship. Using the dependence for the case of cavitation attack on the propeller blades helps to infer that the diameter of water jets striking against the propeller blade surface with diameter of 3 700 mm makes about 10 mm. The obtained value allows to choose reasonably the experimental equipment and the parameters of testing the ship propeller materials for cavitation wear.

Cavitation is a common phenomenon in pump systems, negatively influencing their operating parameters and components such as impellers and, thus, causing considerable financial losses. This paper explains the problem of cavitation and cavitation erosion. The causes of cavitation in pump systems are analyzed. A selection of centrifugal pump impellers damaged by cavitation erosion are presented and examined. The authors also discuss ways of preventing cavitation and cavitation erosion in pump systems. Finally, relevant conclusions are drawn.

This paper describes state-of-the-art manufacture of ship propeller blades with numerically controlled(NC) machining. A brief explanation of the rationale for NC machining is provided, followed by a discussion of the operating experience of a blade machining center over the past six years. Some of the unique considerations involved in the NC programming and machining processes are described along with some of the most common production problems. The factors leading to the company's decision to expand the blade machining center are discussed along with a description of the design and procurement of the new equipment and facilities. Tolerances achieved by NC machining and hand finishing are compared.
