Abstract The presented study aims to reveal the effect of liquid temperature on cavitation-induced erosion of an Al-Mg alloy. An experimental work was conducted using a submerged cavitating waterjet to impact the specimen surface. For a certain cavitation number and a given standoff distance, different liquid temperatures were considered. Accordingly, a comprehensive comparison was implemented by inspecting the mass loss and surface morphology of the tested specimens. The results show that the cumulative mass loss increases continuously with the liquid temperature. A cavitation zone with an irregular profile becomes evident as the cavitation treatment proceeds.
