Inside a hydraulic actuator driving a metal stamping press, which risk increases when fluid velocity intensifies?

💡 Explanation

Erosive cavitation damage increases because rapidly increasing fluid velocity results in localized pressure drops causing vapor bubble formation and subsequent collapse following Bernoulli's principle. Therefore, material erodes,rather than thermal effects or slow response times impacting performance.
