How Ultrasonic Cleaning Works
Ultrasonic sound is a wave that is transmitted at frequencies generally beyond the range of human hearing. In an ultrasonic cleaner, you use ultrasonic sound to clean materials and parts. The procedure is as follows:
As the sound waves from the transducer radiate through the solution in the tank, they cause alternating high and low pressures in the solution.
During the low-pressure stage, millions of microscopic bubbles form and grow. This process is called Cavitation, meaning “formation of cavities.”
During the high-pressure stage, the bubbles collapse or “implode,” releasing enormous amounts of energy. These implosions act like an army of tiny scrub brushes. They work in all directions to do the cleaning, attacking every surface and invading all recesses and openings.
