Abstract Increasing demands on component properties are leading to the development of high-performance materials for which conventional production methods reaching their limits from an economic and ecological point view. In recent years, two technologies have been developed that show great potential compared machining processes, particularly in such as titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Ultrasonic-assis...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare intraoperative parameters between femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification using Centurion® Vision System with Active Fluidics. SETTING This study was performed at Brasília Ophthalmologic Hospital, Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective randomized compara...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the isolation of curcuminoids from turmeric plant rhizomes. The turmeric samples were extracted under indirect sonication in an ultrasonic bath, and compared with the conventional methods. It was found that the yield of ultrasound-assisted extraction was approxim...

Euphorbia tirucalli (E. tirucalli) is now widely distributed around the world and is well known as a source of traditional medicine in many countries. This study aimed to utilise response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions for total phenolic compounds (TPC) and antioxidant capacity from E. tirucalli leaf. The results showed that ultrasonic temp...

Induction heating treatment (IHT) has recently been used to improve the bioactivity and biocompatibility of titanium its alloys, greatly related formation nanoscale oxide coating. In this work, effect ultrasonic on IHT oxidation behavior pure investigated. Ultrasonic-assisted was carried out for 13, 20 25 s. Submicro-/nano-scale morphological coatings with rutile anatase TiO2 were prepared surf...

Ultrasonic-assisted grinding (UAG) is widely used in the manufacture of hard and brittle materials. However, process removal mechanism was never elucidated its potential yet to be fully exploited. In this paper, material analyzed by ultrasonic-assisted scratching. Three distinct surfaces (S1, S2, S3) were selected on basis braided laminated structure fiber bundles. The scratching experiment car...

Ultrasonic-assisted wire–arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can refine microstructures, enhancing performance and improving stress concentration anisotropy. It has important application prospects in aerospace, weaponry, energy, transportation, other frontier fields. However, the process parameters of ultrasonic treatment as an auxiliary technology WAAM still have impact on product indicators, su...

The aim of this work was to characterize copper ferrite nanoparticles synthesized via solvothermal method and to investigate the effects of ultrasonic waves on the synthesis efficiency. Crystal structure, functional groups, microstructure, particle size, magnetic properties, specific surface area, porosity distribution and photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanoparticles were also inves...

In this paper, xCuO/CeO2–γAl2O3 nano-catalysts were successfully synthesized by precipitation from an aqueous solution which modified via ultrasonic waves. For characterization of xCuO/CeO2–γAl2O3 samples N2 adsorption results showed that the BET surface area of the CuO/CeO2–γAl2O3, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-rays (EDX dot-mapping) were u...

It has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in an immiscible displacement process. Although many studies have been performed on investigating the roles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluate wave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energy...
