Which mechanical erosion accelerates when hydraulic pumps undergo pressure drops?

💡 Explanation

Intense local stresses are generated because decreasing pressure induces vapour voids (cavitation), and the subsequent collapse causes rapid micro-jet impacts. These erode the pump material; therefore, the structural integrity is damaged rather than merely reducing viscosity or causing valve lock.
