Abstract :
This research determines which of the phenomena that appear during cavitation are responsible for the erosion of some brittle water soluble materials, such as gypsum and alum, when exposed to a high intensity ultrasound field over the cavitation level. The observation that gypsum suffers no erosion under the effect of an ultrasound field when the material is irradiated in a saturated solution of gypsum in water initiated the idea of performing this experiment.
