- Additional information
- An output of EPSRC Ultramelt#2 (EP/R011001/1) in collaboration with Brunel and Oxford Brookes universities and Anton Paar SA (Switz.), this contribution elicits the use of advanced high-speed imaging facilities in Glasgow university to observe in-situ the structural response and fragmentation of primary Al3Zr intermetallics to laser induced cavitation. Pressure measurements and fracture mechanics aid understanding of this rarely studied topic, important for industry with intermetallic fragmentation during ultrasonic treatment considered a very effective grain refining method. Further studies identified the unique structure of shock the emitted waves (“Characterization of shock waves in power ultrasound” JFM, in print).
