C) Dew-Point corrosion
D) Atmospheric corrosion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cavitation is the form of erosion caused by the formation and instantaneous collapse of innumerable tiny vapor bubbles. It occurs in liquid systems where the pressure drops to its vapor pressure, causing the formation of small vapor bubbles that collapse as they move through higher pressure areas. This process can cause damage to surfaces, particularly in pumps and turbines. Condensate corrosion, dew point corrosion, and atmospheric corrosion all involve different mechanisms of corrosion unrelated to cavitation.
