This report describes investigation of the cavitation erosion resistance of potential hydrofoil structural alloys and coatings, which were selected by the Chance-Vought Corporation under Bureau of Ships Contract NObs 84595, Relationship between, resistance to cavitation erosion and other mechanical and chemical properties of these materials are also discussed. Further studies by NAVAPLSCIENLAB on cavitation erosion of potential hydrofoil materials are being continued under the Hydrofoil Materials Research Program currently underway.
