← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when ultrasonic forging introduces excessive acoustic cavitation?
A)Surface finish microstructural fatigue✓
B)Increased material grain homogeneity
C)Enhanced compressive residual stress
D)Decreased coefficient of thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
Surface finish worsens during ultrasonic forging from intensified cavitation erosion at high intensities, because collapsing vapor bubbles generate micro-jets impacting the material surface, therefore promoting fatigue failure, rather than strengthening, under external loading.
