{wiki=Ultrasonic_impact_treatment}
Ultrasonic Impact Treatment (UIT) is a process used to enhance the properties and performance of materials, particularly metals. This technique involves the application of high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to a surface, which in turn introduces localized mechanical impacts. These impacts can induce beneficial changes in the material's microstructure, resulting in improved characteristics such as increased strength, hardness, ductility, and fatigue resistance.
