Cover Story: Cavitation erosion is a significant issue affecting the performance of engineering components, such as ship propellers, desalination systems, and hydraulic machinery. This study investigates the surface degradation of maritime structures made from Duplex stainless steel due to cavitation in marine and river environments. To improve erosion resistance, layers of austenitic manganese alloy were applied through welding. Cavitation tests, following ASTM standards, measured mass loss and examined the eroded zones using SEM and hardness testing. The deposited coatings improved erosion resistance by 8.5–10.5 times, with surface hardness increasing to 465–490 HV5, compared to 260–280 HV5 for base metals, demonstrating the effectiveness of hardfacing.
