Popis: The parameters of ultrasonic processing have important effects on the distribution and dispersion of nano-sized particles in magnesium matrix nanocomposite (MMNC) fabrication. In order to learn more about the above effects and produce guidelines for the fabrication of MMNC, the acoustic cavitation and streaming effects produced by high intensive ultrasonic method with different frequency and power were experimented with water, glycerol, soybean oil and oil-water mixture respectively. The results showed that the acoustic cavitation and streaming were influenced by ultrasonic frequency and power as well as the depth of waveguide dipped into melts. The ultrasonic processing of the MMNC melts with 20kHz and 1.4kW greatly improved the dispersion and distribution of nano-sized reinforcement particles in MMNC.
