Plating method using ultrasound and fine bubbles

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute, in collaboration with Japan Barrel Industry Co., Ltd., is implementing a "plating method" utilizing ultrasound and fine bubbles for plating treatment. This is a new ultrasonic control technology based on the measurement, analysis, and evaluation of ultrasonic propagation conditions, aimed at precision cleaning, processing, stirring, and inspection. By utilizing the acoustic properties (surface elastic waves) of various materials, ultrasonic stimulation can be controlled for several tons of structures and machine tools in a 3000-liter tank with an ultrasonic output of less than 20W. It was developed as an application method for nonlinear phenomena through an engineering (experimental and technical) perspective on elastic wave phenomena and an abstract algebraic ultrasonic model. The key point is the technology for utilizing surface elastic waves on the surface of ultrasonic elements. By confirming the ultrasonic propagation characteristics depending on the conditions of the target object (Note 1), it is important to address it as an original nonlinear resonance phenomenon. Note 1: Ultrasonic propagation characteristics 1) Detection of vibration modes (changes in self-correlation) 2) Detection of nonlinear phenomena (changes in bispectrum) 3) Detection of response characteristics (analysis of impulse response) 4) Detection of interactions (analysis of power contribution rates)

- Application technology of the Ultrasonic System Research Institute based on ultrasonic measurement and analysis techniques -

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed an ultrasonic oscillation control probe based on the acoustic properties of glass containers. By confirming the basic acoustic characteristics (response characteristics, propagation characteristics) depending on the shape and material of each container, it enables the desired ultrasonic propagation state through oscillation control (output, waveform, oscillation frequency, changes, etc.). The key point is to evaluate the dynamic vibration characteristics of the system based on the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data. We are setting and confirming new evaluation criteria (parameters) that indicate the state of ultrasonic waves suitable for the purpose. Note: - Nonlinear characteristics (dynamic characteristics of harmonics) - Response characteristics - Fluctuation characteristics - Effects due to interactions By developing original measurement and analysis methods that consider the acoustic properties and surface elastic waves of the target object, with reference to the concepts of statistical mathematics, we have developed a new technology regarding the relationships of various detailed effects related to vibration phenomena. The specific conditions for oscillation control are determined based on experimental confirmation, as they are also influenced by the characteristics of ultrasonic probes and oscillation equipment. As a result, there are increasing instances and achievements demonstrating that new nonlinear parameters are very effective.

Nonlinear control technology for ultrasound based on sound pressure measurement analysis.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena by utilizing the interactions generated from simultaneously oscillating two types of ultrasonic probes from one oscillation channel of a function generator. Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena refer to the resonance phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations that occurs due to the generation of harmonics resulting from original oscillation control, realized at high amplitudes through resonance phenomena. By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various materials according to their intended purpose, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology allows for the control of dynamic changes in surface elastic waves according to their intended use. In practical terms, the simultaneous oscillation (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation) of multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes generates complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure at high frequency propagation states, or low frequency propagation states at high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.
