The water cavitation abrasive surface finishing & peening process (CASF) is undergoing preliminary testing to validate it’s use for cleaning, smoothing and imparting compressive residual stresses onto Ti AM parts. The goal is to meet the aerospace detail part manufacturing requirements. This discussion will focus on the progress made in the past few months and examine its potential benefits as an alternative to the traditional methods.
