Abstract

A method and apparatus for finishing a surface of a component. The method includes installing the component in an apparatus configured to deliver a flow of abrasives to the surface and to generate cavitation bubbles in a liquid contacting the surface using a cavitation generator that includes an ultrasonic generator configured to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid contacting the surface by ultrasonic excitation in the liquid or a laser configured to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid contacting the surface by laser excitation in the liquid; controlling the cavitation generator such that cavitation bubbles are generated to finish the surface by implosion of the cavitation bubbles; and controlling the flow of slurry to the surface so as to finish the surface by abrasion. An apparatus for finishing a surface of a component is also disclosed.
