One of the prevalent material removal mechanisms in vibratory ultrasonic machining (USM) is cavitation erosion. The slurry-used USM process contains a mixture of water and abrasive particles—hence, strictly not pure cavitation. Cavitation erosion is the process of surface modification by generation...
