Spawned by growing interest in ultrasonic technology and new developments in ultrasonic melt processing, the Second Edition of Ultrasonic Treatment of Light Alloy Melts discusses use of ultrasonic melt treatment in direct-chill casting, shape casting, rapid solidification, zone refining, and more, exploring the effects of power ultrasound on melt degassing, filtration, and refinement in aluminum and magnesium alloys. The fully revised and restructured Second Edition: Contains new, in-depth coverage of composite and nanocomposite materials Provides a historical review of the last century of ultrasonic applications to metallurgy Emphasizes the fundamentals, mechanisms, and applications of ultrasonic melt processing in different light-metal technologies Features new chapters on ultrasonic grain refinement, refinement of primary solid phases, and semi-solid processing of billets with nondendritic structure Includes significant updates reflecting results obtained over the past two decades on different scales, from laboratory to full-scale industrial implementations Complete with many new figures and examples, Ultrasonic Treatment of Light Alloy Melts, Second Edition delivers a comprehensive treatise on ultrasonic melt processing and cavitation, presenting essential guidelines for practical use and further development of the technology.

This book explores the application of power ultrasound in light metal processing, covering both fundamental principles and industrial applications. Building on the success of previous editions, this updated work examines ultrasonic melt treatment in direct-chill casting, shape casting, rapid solidification, and emerging technologies like additive manufacturing. It details how ultrasonic processing affects degassing, filtration, and microstructural refinement in aluminum and magnesium alloys, incorporating the latest research findings and measurement techniques. The extensively revised and expanded Third Edition:Features new chapters on numerical modeling and ultrasound-assisted additive manufacturing.Incorporates research enabled by ultra high-speed imaging, synchrotron visualization, and advanced acoustic measurement techniques.Presents updates on cavitation mechanisms, acoustic flows, and contactless ultrasonic processing.Includes computational models that elucidate complex physical phenomena during ultrasonic processing.Offers expanded coverage of practical implementation in both laboratory and industrial settings.With contributions from four internationally recognized experts, this third edition delivers an essential reference for researchers, industry professionals, and graduate students in materials science, metallurgical engineering, and manufacturing technology, providing both theoretical foundations and practical guidelines for implementing this transformative technology.
