and
chloride ions in the pits or in the crevice by removing the corrosion
product and stirring the liquid there. Despite positive results being
obtained in the work, in practical application it is not always possible
to expand the cavitation field far from US horn. Cavitation field
radius usually does no exceed 100-700 mm around horn
LUQUEDECASTRO 2007, this limits the application of US cavitation. However, US vibration of a
metal can expand on much higher distances. So, this work was aimed to
study the pitting suppression with US vibration of a stainless steel
plate. The US horn was attached to the stainless steel plate, not
immersed in the water, to cause it's vibration on the US frequency.
