Scaling attenuation data characterizes changes in material microstructure
Source abstract
Abstract
Ultrasonic attenuation was measured for polycrystalline samples of nickel and copper with various grain-size distributions produced by heat treatment. Attenuation as a function of frequency was determined for a sample having a known mean grain diameter D. It was found that, once this function is determined, it can be scaled to determine the mean grain size of other samples of the same material with different mean grain diameters. These results were obtained using broadband pulse-echo ultrasound in the 25 to 100 MHz frequency range. The results suggest an ultrasonic, nondestructive approach for verifying heat treatment of metals.
