Purpose: Major aim of the work was to formulate 2-parameters models of the cavitation erosion process and to bring about the particular methods for prediction of its performance with due calculation formulas. Design/methodology/approach: Phenomenological model of the erosion supplemented with functional relationships between calculation parameters and the strength parameters stand for the foundations of the method. Having assumed the probabilistic nature of the process and fatigue regime of the material destruction, the volume loss in time has been determined as proportional to the integral of the appropriate probability function. Correlations between parameters have been derived by adjusting the computed erosion curves to the experimental ones for the vast diversity of the cases. Findings: Two different formulas for the volume loss of the material in time under cavitation loading have been derived. Research limitations/implications: Results obtained from both the International Cavitation Erosion Test program as well as the own experiments carried out at the rotating disk set-up supplied necessary experimental data. Preliminary verification of the method soundness was completed. Assumption on the independence of the calculation parameters on the loading conditions have been taken. The approach is valid provided the defined relationships are also independent on the type and amplitude of the loading. Practical implications: Achieving the objectives is expected to result in developing a technique for assessment of the material damage under cavitation loadings. Numerical implementation of the model completed with the derived functional relationships stand for a tool, enabling a prospective user to predict the material performance under defined cavitation loading. Originality/value: New formulas for calculating the efficiency of cavitation erosion, inferred from the models of high physical clarity are the original contribution to the methodology and techniques concerned.
