Fabrication of Light Weight Metal Matrix Nanocomposites using Ultrasonic Cavitation Process: A State of Review

Fabrication of nanocomposites is a highly challenging task because of the particles need to be disseminated across the molten liquid. The broad surface area, poor wettability. Homogeneous dispersion is tough in traditional stirring methods leads to cluster and agglomeration formation in high viscous molten metals. In such attempts, the ultrasonic vibration process exhibits the better dispersion and distribution of nanocomposites with enhanced material properties as compared to other fabrication processes. This paper deals with the fabrication process, probe design and effective process parameters of sonication process to the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles.
