Investigation of the factors influencing cavitation intensity during the ultrasonic treatment of molten aluminium

The application of ultrasound to casting processes is a subject of great interest: the resulting degassing, sonocrystallization, wetting, fragmentation, de-agglomeration and dispersion yield an improved cast material with fine grain structure. However, due to the lack of understanding of certain fun...
