title: Influence of concentration of substances used in ultrasonic cleaning in alkaline solutions on cavitation intensity.
abstract: Cavitation intensity vs. temperature of aqueous solutions of three substances most frequently used in ultrasonic cleaning: sodium carbonate, metasilicate and phosphate were measured. Shapes of cavitation - temperature curves for 0-10% solutions during heating and cooling in the 20-70 degrees C temperature range were compared. Maximal cavitation intensity curves for these solutions at 60 degrees C (most frequently used temperature of ultrasonic cleaning in aqueous solutions), in identical conditions and at various ultrasound frequencies are presented as diagrams.
