Abstract:
Ultrasonic Impact Technology (UIT) by Applied Ultrasonics uses ultrasonic energy and mechanical impact to improve metals. The ultrasonic device oscillates at a
rate of 27,000 times a second, making it an effective and rapid way to reorient the grains in metal and impart beneficial compressive stresses into the material. Using a transducer to energize pins that impact the metal, UIT crafts a tight, pancake grain structure which is resistant to cracks and failure.
