Vibratory cavitation damage tests (20 kHz, 2 mil (50·8 μm) double amplitude) have been conducted in water on SAE-660 bronze, over the temperature range 55°F to 250°F and with 1 to 4 atm static suppression pressure supplied by variation of cover gas pressure. The effects upon damage of variation of temperature at constant static suppression pressure and variation of static suppression pressure at constant temperature are presented. A comparison with the existing literature is made.
