Not one, but two opportunities to learn how cavitation-based technologies are advancing additive manufacturing performance this June.
This year, our team is excited to contribute two technical presentations focused on solving some of the most persistent challenges in aerospace AM: surface finish, fatigue performance, and treating internal features that are out of line-of-sight.
🔹 Presentation 1 - AeroMat – TODAY, June 2nd, 1 pm
Surface Smoothing and Compressive Residual Stress Studies for AM Metals Using Cavitation Abrasive Surface Finishing & Peening for Fatigue Performance
Dr. Sanders dives into fatigue comparison studies on AM Ti 6Al 4V coupons built and processed under various conditions, including HIP + CASF. Attendees will see data demonstrating how CASF combines controlled material removal with cavitation-induced shock waves to improve surface roughness and compressive residual stress, helping bridge the gap toward fatigue-critical AM structures.
🔹 Presentation 2 – AeroTech – June 4th, 9 am
Cleaning Up the Non-Line of Sight Hidden Areas of AM Ti 6Al 4V Bores and Circuitous Passageways with Cavitation Abrasive Surface Finishing & Peening
This talk highlights recent research on LPBF titanium tubular AM parts, showing how CASF enables effective cleaning, smoothing, and strengthening of internal bores, channels, and trapped passageways, including removal of residual powder, debris, alpha case, and internal support structures.
Together, these sessions offer a comprehensive look at how cavitation water jet peening and abrasive surface finishing are enabling next-generation AM components, especially those with complex geometries, stepped bores, hidden fluid chambers, and long, circuitous internal passageways.
📍If you’re attending, we invite you to join both sessions and connect with our team at AeroMat booth 407 to explore what’s next for aerospace AM post-processing.
