These cracks rarely happen in a vacuum. They are usually the result of a combination of environmental and operational factors. 1. Velocity and Pressure Spikes They are usually the result of a combination

Subsurface inclusions or poor grain structure in the metal can act as the starting point for a crack. When the jet hits these weak spots, the material lacks the elasticity to absorb the impact. Detection and Diagnostics When the jet hits these weak spots, the

The "crop" or narrowing of the jet increases the impact force on a singular point.

High-frequency sound waves can detect "crops" or voids beneath the surface that indicate a crack is forming.
