APPLIED ULTRASONICS delivers Ultrasonic Impact Technology (UIT), a patented treatment that improves the structure and properties of metals and welded components. Our technology is being used around the globe in industries as diverse as energy, defense, manufacturing, oil and gas, transportation and many others. UIT was first developed in the early 1970s by Dr. Efim Statnikov and a team of scientists and engineers for the submarine manufacturing industry and used to strengthen the hulls of nuclear submarines. In the years since, UIT has been expanded and perfected to meet the challenges of today?s heavy manufacturing industries that utilize metals like steel, aluminum, titanium, iron and bronze in their equipment and infrastructure. APPLIED ULTRASONICS was founded in 1997 by a small consortium of industrial professionals whose expertise includes steel, engineering and manufacturing, to harness the power of UIT for industries that rely on strength. After putting UIT through extensive testing and verification by the most demanding research groups imaginable, including federal, state, commercial and academic institutions - Federal Highway Administration, US Navy, US Coast Guard, Nippon Steel, University of Texas, International Institute of Welding, Lehigh University among others - APPLIED ULTRASONICS has thoroughly proven that UIT is real-world ready. In 2002, APPLIED ULTRASONICS unleashed UIT for commercial and operational applications and established partnerships with companies in Europe and Asia for greater reach across the globe. Today, APPLIED ULTRASONICS is the world leader in the design and delivery of Ultrasonic Impact Technology solutions, equipment and service for heavy manufacturing industries worldwide and currently owns 5 patents, 46 partner patent applications and numerous more patents pending. APPLIED ULTRASONICS is based in Birmingham, AL with offices in Europe, Asia and Australia.
