Abstract:In ultrasonic cavitation, iridescent rings always occur around erosion pits on steel surface. These colorful halos can reflect the experienced temperature of the steel surface, but the reason for their formation is controversial. In this study, the development of an erosion pit and the iridescent ring around it on stainless steel (1Cr18Ni9Ti) surface was numerically investigated based on the energy transformation theory. The results revealed that the experienced temperature of ring areas with the shape of thre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
