Numerical modeling of the dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles during ultrasonic processing of aluminum-based nanocomposites

The metal–matrix-nano-composites (MMNCs) in this study consist of a 6061 alloy matrix reinforced with 1.0 wt.% SiC nanoparticles that are dispersed within the matrix using an ultrasonic cavitation dispersion technique available in the Solidification Laboratory at the University of Alabama. The requi...
