Abstract:  
ABSTRACT Cavitation normally causes severe damage in hydraulic machinery such as pumps, valves and so on. However, cavitation impact can be utilized to surface treatment to improve fatigue strength of metallic materials in the same way as shot peening. A peening method using cavitation impact was named as
