Ultrasonic Measurements of Titanium Elasticity and Attenuation in Welds and Plate

摘要

Ultrasonic shear and longitudinal waves are used to evaluate the elasticity and attenuation of titanium weld and plate alloy. Wave speeds are used to measure the materials' elasticity and anisotropy, and the wave amplitude is used to measure relative levels of scattering in the weld and plate regions. Results obtained on a representative weld are compared with results obtained on oxygen contaminated specimens.
