Experiments conducted on titanium (Ti-64) turbine blades with the L{sub}(CR) ultrasonic wave at 20 MHz showed significant differences in untreated blades and blades treated to increase the subsurface compressive residual stress. Group 1 showed significant differences in the treated and untreated areas, the top and bottom of the blades, high cycle fatigue and cracked and uncracked conditions. Group 2 blades showed significant difference between untreated and treated travel-times at probes located at the blade leading edge.
