Which detrimental outcome occurs in a hydraulic actuator when rapid valve closure creates low-pressure zones?

💡 Explanation

When rapid valve closure occurs, the momentum of the fluid creates low-pressure zones where dissolved gases vaporize, forming bubbles; the bubbles then implode in high-pressure regions causing cavitation erosion. Therefore cavitation erosion results, rather than stick-slip, overheating, or pressure lock which require different circumstances.
