%Write the abstract here.
%In accordance with the Academic Regulations the thesis must contain an abstract preferably not exceeding 200 words, bound in to precede the thesis. The abstract should appear on its own, on a single page. The format should be the same as that of the main text. The abstract should provide a synopsis of the thesis and shall state clearly the nature and scope of the research undertaken and of the contribution made to the knowledge of the subject treated. There should be a brief statement of the method of investigation where appropriate, an outline of the major divisions or principal arguments of thework and a summary of any conclusions reached. The abstract must follow the Title Page.
% TODO
Cavitation erosion is a complex phenomenon influenced by the intensity of cavitating bubbles and material resistance, leading to performance degradation through material loss. This research endeavors to evaluate the resistance of blended stellite alloys to cavitation erosion.
%Simulation of cavitation phenomena will be achieved using ultrasonic vibrating probes positioned consistently from the material.
The study will investigate the synergy between cavitation and corrosion through in-situ electrochemical measurements. Experimental procedures will involve an ultrasonic vibratory horn operating at a fixed frequency of 20 kHz, with adjustable peak-to-peak amplitude. Microstructural characterization of cavitated sample surfaces and underlying cross-sections affected by cavitation will be conducted using scanning electron microscopy.

%You can write whatever you want to in the Acknowledgements, I have seen thanks to videogames, rubber ducks, takeaway restaurants, Karl Marx and so on. Some people even go as far as to put down things or people that got in the way of their thesis. If you consider going that route, keep things civil! Still, this is your space, there's no real guidelines, include a fancy quote then several paragraphs about ghosts if you like, or maybe a poem that speaks to you. Have a think about it.
%After this comes the mandatory table of contents.
%\textbf{Lists of Tables and Figures, Glossary, List of Publications by the Candidate}
%It is \textit{optional} to provide these lists. If provided, then they should start on the page following the table of contents and be in the order: Tables, Figures, Glossary (list of abbreviations), Publications.
%Items in lists of Tables and Figures should be in the order in which they occur in the text.
