Fiberizating of silicate melts in acoustic fields

A new technology for processing silicate melts into a super-thin fiber using high-intensity acoustic vibrations is considered. The physical mechanism of liquid dispersion in the presence of an acoustic ultrasonic field has been investigated. An interpretation of the process of fiber formation in an acoustic ultrasonic field is given from the standpoint of the capillary-wave and cavitation theories. The results of industrial approbation of acoustic blowing using specially designed ejection heads are presented. Il. 1, bibliography: 9 titles.
