Cavitation loop Slurry loop
The ratio of nozzle diameter to the workpiece diameter was maintained ≤ 1. If the ratio exceeds the value of 1, there
workpiece inlet will be eroded

Abrasive concentration
The use of abrasive concentration ≤ 1.0 % gives rise to synergistic effects in hydrodynamic finishing. The details of
synergistic effects are provided in our previous studies.
Fluid temperature
The fluid temperature was maintained at room temperature for this case study. However, cavitation and the associated
material removal is maximum at 50 °C.
