Ultrasonics can be used in a variety of applications. It's commonly used to 'weld' plastics together - and to clean jewellery.
Ultrasonics are used in medicine for diagnostic imaging purposes, such as in ultrasound scans to visualize internal organs and monitor fetal development during pregnancy. It is also used in therapeutic applications, such as ultrasonic lithotripsy to break down kidney stones or in ultrasound-guided procedures for targeted treatments like tumor ablation.
Ultrasonic means at a higher frequency than humans can hear - more than about 20,000 Hz.Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound - about 331 meters per second in air, at room temperature.
Magnetostriction is a property of certain materials that causes them to change shape when exposed to a magnetic field. This mechanical deformation can be used in magnetostrictive transducers to generate ultrasonic waves by converting electrical energy into mechanical vibrations. As the material expands and contracts due to the alternating magnetic field, it creates ultrasonic waves that can be used for various applications such as ultrasonic cleaning or medical imaging.
Infrasonics are sound waves with frequencies lower than the human hearing range (below 20 Hz), while ultrasonics are sound waves with frequencies higher than the human hearing range (above 20,000 Hz). Both types of sound waves have various applications in science and technology, including medical imaging, cleaning, and communication.
The velocity of ultrasonic waves in kerosene is approximately 1300-1500 m/s. The exact value can vary depending on factors such as temperature, pressure, and composition of the kerosene.
Three applications for Ultrasonics in the NDT field are checking for the thinning of metals, checking for cracks and fractures on the backside of a metal surface as well as looking for defects in honeycomb structures.
Sonobond Ultrasonics was created in 1960.
Ultrasonics is the science of sound. Ultrasonics are usually used to detect items and measure distance. It is often used in the vetrinary and human medical field.

Sounds which have frequency greater than 20,000Hz are inaudible to human ears are called ultrasonics.

Ultrasonics can be used as part of a process to break down clay and release gold particles stuck in the material. The high-frequency vibrations caused by ultrasonics can help dislodge the gold particles from the clay, making it easier to extract the gold. However, ultrasonics alone may not be sufficient, and other techniques may also be needed for effective gold recovery.
