Characterization of Grain Size and Yield Strength in AISI 301 Stainless Steel Using Ultrasonic Attenuation Measurements
Source abstract
Abstract
AISI 301 stainless steel samples were annealed over the temperature range of 800–1200°C for 60 minutes to produce different grain sizes. These samples were characterized by ultrasonic immersion technique, tensile test, and optical microscopy. The attenuation of ultrasonic waves measured at a frequency of 20 MHz showed a good correlation with average grain size, hardness, and yield strength of AISI 301 stainless steel samples. A new equation was derived for calculation of yield strength on the basis of ultrasonic wave attenuation and Hall-Petch relation.
