Which outcome occurs when dissolved gas content, exceeding the saturation point, accumulates within an ultrasonic transducer's hydraulic coupler?

💡 Explanation

Material erosion results because dissolved gasses nucleate and violently collapse under alternating pressure creating transient cavitation; therefore, pitting occurs rather than simple friction because vapor bubbles rapidly form and implode during rarefaction.
