Which risk increases when hydraulic actuator control valves experience dithering?

A)Resonance induced structural fatigue
B)Orifice erosion via cavitation
C)Thermal runaway due to friction
D)Seal degradation from chemical shear

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk increases due to rapid pressure changes from valve dithering; because the liquid's vapor pressure is reached, microbubbles form and collapse violently in the orifices. Therefore, erosion accelerates rather than other failure modes at higher frequencies.
