New water jet cavitation technology to increase number and size of cavitation bubbles and its effect on pure Al surface

Currently, a wide variety of alloying elements are added to Al to strengthen it, which complicates the recycling process at the end of the product life. In this study, we focused on water jet cavitation (WJC) as a means to harden pure Al. When this treatment is performed, a peening effect can improv...
