These are mechanical wear, corrosion, cavitation and fatigue. Mechanical abrasion is the mechanical removal of metal by cutting or the abrasion of suspended solid particles carried in the liquid, which is a loss of material. Corrosion is the change in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials as a result of the chemical and electrochemical effects of the environment they are in. Cavitation is the result of the formation of vapor bubbles in the liquid subjected to intense local pressure changes and the detonation resulting from the explosion in the high pressure zone. Wearing which occurs in machine elements under variable stresses is called fatigue. Centrifugal pumps are from the dynamic pump group and are the most widely used pump type in agricultural irrigation. They work in very difficult and critical environments. They encounter many wear-out problems throughout their lifetime. In this study, the types of wearing observed in centrifugal pumps were investigated and the effects on the centrifugal pumps were investigated.
