Abstract Scope |
A grand challenge of metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) lies in processing. Magnesium (Mg) and its inherently reactive properties has virtually eliminated the ability to use conventional techniques such as powder metallurgy. A novel technology has been developed called Electromagnetic Acoustic Transduction (EMAT) to process bulk Mg-MMNCs. EMAT transforms electromagnetic energy into high intensity sonication to induce acoustic cavitation, with the goal of disrupting particle agglomeration. This plenary will explore the landscape of metal matrix nanocomposite fabrication techniques while introducing the EMAT technology and its inherent advantages. Furthermore, the physics of acoustic production and its connection to the resultant microstructure will be explained in the context of potential material property improvements. |
