Abstract
The electrical resistance variation of the Sn–20% Pb alloy melt subjected to ultrasonic vibration was investigated using four-electrode method. The modified energy band theory and cavitation dynamics simulation were employed to explain the experimental results. The ultrasonic vibration in the liquid disrupted the melt structure and enhanced the forced vibration of the atoms, resulting in a reversible liquid–liquid structural transformation and a sharp decrease in electrical resistance. The evolution of the optical microstructure suggested that the ultrasonic-induced refining and homogenizing effects of short-range ordered structures were time-sensitive. The numerical simulation of cavitation dynamics indicated that the structural variation was the substantial root for the electrical resistance change by ultrasonic irradiation, and the high energy required for the reversible structural variation was provided by the collapsing cavities.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
