← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when applying ultrasonic vibrations during metal forging?
A)Reduced grain boundary friction coefficient✓
B)Increased workpiece ductile-brittle transition
C)Elevated recrystallization threshold temperature
D)Enhanced thermal conductivity in tooling
💡 Explanation
Ultrasonic forging reduces friction because acoustic softening decreases the grain boundary friction coefficient through cavitation and thermal effects. Therefore, localized plastic deformation is easier with lower friction, rather than increased material brittleness caused by improper heat treatment alone.
