Abstract

Cavitation erosion of pure titanium metal in molten lead was measured at temperatures varying between 350 and 800°C. Magnetostrictive transducer was used to generate ultrasonic waves at frequency 200 kHz and driving amplitude of 4 µm. The results showed an increase in the weight loss of titanium with increase in both temperature and cavitation noise level. The starting temperature for dissolving titanium in lead changed from 725° at normal conditions, to 600°C when ultrasonic field was applied.
