Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the cavitation-induced erosion and breakdown mechanism of free floating Al3Zr crystals exposed to ultrasonic vibrations in water at different exposure times using in-situ high-speed imaging technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The post-mortem microstructural examination of the damaged crystals shows that the micron-sized hierarchical crack network structure is initially formed in the outer layer of the crystals. Subsequently, the cracked surface undergoes delamination with subsequent layer-by-layer breakdown into micro-fragments in the range of 5-50 μm. This process is accelerated every time the fragment is dragged into the cavitation zone by the recirculating acoustic flow conditions.
