A cavitation peening system is disclosed, including a tank containing a fluid, a carrier, and an array of cavitation nozzles. The carrier is configured to deliver a workpiece to a treatment zone in the tank, and the array of cavitation nozzles are collectively configured to generate a cavitation induced whirlpool in the treatment zone.

A cutting head includes a cutting head body with an integrated collet and a shield configured to direct expended abrasive particles away from the cutting head. A wear insert is secured within the cutting head body and configured with a venturi chamber in which a stream of water accelerates a metered stream of abrasive. A focusing tube is secured to the wear insert assembly by the cutting head body with the integrated collet. The integrated collet aligns a focusing orifice of the focusing tube with an orifice through which the stream of water flows. A nut secures the integrated collet to the focusing tube and seals an interior of the cutting head body. The shield is selectively positionable along a length of the focusing tube to optimize shielding.

A surface polishing method for micro inner flow channel, a micro inner flow channel part and a polishing medium. The diameter of the micro inner flow channel is less than or equal to 3 mm and length-diameter ratio is greater than or equal to 50:1. A polishing medium including a liquid phase and a solid phase, and viscosity of the liquid phase <1000 cP, the solid phase includes abrasive particles; a predetermined pressure being set on the polishing medium, making the polishing medium flow in the micro inner flow channel at a flow velocity more than 5 m/s, and flow rate of the polish polishing medium flowing into the micro inner flow channel at one end reaches a saturation flow rate allowed by the bore of the micro inner flow channel, making the hydraulic pressure inside the inner flow channel be in a pressure holding state.

Disclosed herein are components, systems, and methods of operating an abrasive fluid jet system that recycles and reuses abrasive particles. The systems and methods described enable accurate metering and consistent feeding of wet abrasive particles thereby reducing the time and cost of operations associated with drying the recycled abrasive particles prior to reuse. The system may adjust a ratio of wet abrasive to dry abrasive being provided to a cutting head to form an abrasive fluid jet. Components of the system may overcome challenges associated with clumping and other issues that result in difficulty metering wet abrasive.

The present disclosure provides a processing method of suspension abrasive jets, and the method comprises the following steps. Provide a workpiece on the processing machine. A suspension abrasive containing a plurality of abrasive particles with the same electrical property is provided in an abrasive suspension container. A non-aqueous fluid is supplied to the abrasive suspension container from a high pressure source. The workpiece is machined by jetting a suspension abrasive jet that couples a suspension abrasive and the non-aqueous fluid from a nozzle. The suspension abrasive and the non-aqueous fluid of the suspension abrasive jet are respectively recycled to the abrasive suspension container and the high pressure source by an abrasive separation and recycling device after the process.

An abrasive water jet nozzle for strengthening, including a chamber, providing a mixing space; and a strengthening mixing assembly, providing a strengthening mixing of water with an abrasive entering the chamber, wherein the strengthening mixing assembly includes a fluid passage and a water stopper block, wherein the water stopper block is located at an eccentric position on one side of the chamber, and an outlet of the fluid passage faces the water stopper block. The provided abrasive water jet nozzle is capable of fully mixing high speed water with the abrasive particles after the high speed water entering the mixing chamber, so as to ensure the uniformity of the strengthening effect, and the formed abrasive water jet is a large circular fan-shaped jet, which can greatly improve the strengthening quality of the abrasive water jet.
