Effect of ultrasonic amplitude on morphology and wetting behavior of mild steel deposition layer in direct energy deposition-Arc

Key Points

• The morphology and wetting behavior of the deposition layer showed significant variations based on ultrasonic amplitude levels.
• Wetting behavior was notably influenced, with improvements seen at higher ultrasonic amplitudes, indicating potential for enhanced layer quality.
• Assessment using experimental techniques involved direct energy deposition with varying ultrasonic amplitudes on mild steel.
• These findings support the hypothesis that ultrasonic processing can be optimized to enhance metallic layer characteristics.
