Abstract

Influence of laser treatment at cryogenic conditions on surface microstructure after cavitation test of the SUPERSTON alloy are presented in this paper. The cavitation test was performed using the rotating disc facility in IPM PAN Gdansk. The kinetics of mass loss during the cavitation process was determined for casting and laser remelted specimens. Surface and cross-section microstructure of the SUPERSTON alloy after laser treatment and cavitation test was observed by optical and scanning electron microscope.
