High-Intensity Ultrasonics: Theory and Industrial Applications

Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive description of the theory and physics of high-intensity ultrasound, as well as dealing with a wide range of problems associated with the industrial applications of ultrasound, mainly in the areas of metallurgy and mineral processing. The book is divided into three sections, with Part I introducing the reader to the theory and physics of high-intensity ultrasound. Topics in this section include the propagation of ultrasound in liquid media and related nonlinear phenomena, metal crystallization in an ultrasonic field, ultrasound propagation in solids, alterations in dislocational structure, and ultrasonic effects on solidified metal. In Part II the design of ultrasonic generators, mechanoacoustic radiators and other vibrational systems is considered, as well as the control of acoustic parameters when vibrations are passed into a processed medium. Part lll describes problems associated with various uses of high-intensity ultrasound in metallurgy, for example ore dressing or producing powders and cast composites. The applications of high-intensity ultrasound for metal shaping, thermal and thermochemical treatment, welding, cutting, refining, and surface hardening are also discussed here. This comprehensive monograph provides an invaluable source of information, which has been largely unavailable in the West until now. The author is very well known and respected internationally within the field of ultrasonics.
