Abstract:  
ABSTRACT A systematic investigation has been carried out on cavitation in abrasive suspensions and the impact on surfaces. A mixture of Al2O3 and distilled water is used. It is shown in this work that the generated surface topography depends strongly on the experimental conditions. Different surface topographies are obtained if only distilled water is used or if additionally particles are suspended in the fluid. The process is capable of removing burrs with heights of about 20
