MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113785 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 23, 2026, for Physics-Informed Ai-Driven Closed-Loop Ultrasonic And Magnetohydrodynamic System.
Inventors include Shaman Sharma; and Deepak Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A molten-metal processing system includes a refractory crucible assembly, segmented induction coils, an external ultrasonic phased array coupled through acoustic waveguides, a non-contact sensor array, and an edge computing platform. The sensor array acquires thermal, ultrasonic, electrical-conductivity, acoustic-emission and gas telemetry, and a physics-informed neural network and metallurgical digital twin infer melt flow, acoustic pressure, bubble behaviour, inclusion trajectories and solidification evolution. A multi-agent reinforcement learning engine generates control commands for the induction coils, ultrasonic phased array and atmosphere control to coordinate magnetohydrodynamic convection, acoustic cavitation and standing-wave fields. The coordinated fields promote degassing, transport of non- metallic inclusions toward a peripheral collection region and controlled microstructural refinement while avoiding direct immersion of an acoustic actuator in the melt. The platform provides real-time closed-loop processing of molten metals and alloys.
