Understanding dual-frequency ultrasonic melt treatment on grain refinement and mechanical properties improvement of AZ80 magnesium alloy: experiment and simulation

This work investigated the acoustic pressure distribution and relevant cavitation area of the dual-frequency ultrasonic field (DUF) in magnesium melt using numerical simulation. Associated experiments were also implemented to understand the grain refinement of DUF. DUF weakens the acoustic attenuati...
