When passing impulse currents through a conductor, powerful vibro-acoustic oscillations are generated in it. The parameters of these oscillations are easy to control. Changing the duty cycle of pulses allows for such equipment as welding with the allocation of a large amount of heat, and regimes of controlled cooling and ultrasonic quality control of the welded joint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
