  • Portable cavitation peening method and apparatus
    Patent number: 11679454
    Abstract: A method of cavitation peening may include coupling a moveable water source to a portable nozzle, through a flexible conduit. The method may include positioning the nozzle adjacent a treatment surface and discharging a first and second stream of fluid through a first and second channel of the nozzle, with the second channel concentrically positioned around the first channel. The first stream may have a first pressure, and the second stream may have a second pressure, the first pressure being greater than the second pressure and the two streams combining to generate a cloud of cavitation bubbles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2023
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
