Which effect causes localized surface corrosion in condensing steam turbines?

💡 Explanation

Water droplet erosion causes corrosion because as steam undergoes a phase transition, liquid droplets impinge on turbine blades. The kinetic energy causes localized stress leading to material removal by impacting droplets, therefore surface roughens rather than by galvanic action in a electrochemical processes.
