CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING ULTRASOUND IN PLATING PROCESS PARTS

Abstract

The efficiency of the plating process in the ultrasonic field is primarily dependent on the mode of introducing the ultrasonic energy into the welding bath. The research undertaken has revealed that the propagation of ultrasound in the liquid metal bath has a significant influence on the transfer process filler material through the electric arc and on the process of crystallization. All these influences are attributed to the two basic phenomena due to the propagation of ultrasound in liquid enviroments and ultrasonic cavitation and the acceleration of diffusion process
