Use of Acoustic Parameter Measurements for Evaluating the Reliability Criteria of Machine Parts and Metalwork

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method for non-destructive evaluation of the mechanical properties of structural materials has been developed. This is based on measurements of the ultrasound propagation velocity in deforming materials. Preliminarily investigations were carried out in order to relate the ultrasound propagation velocity to the mechanical characteristics of the deforming material. A detailed description of suitable devices intended for ultrasound propagation velocity measurement with high accuracy is presented. Using Zr-based alloys as an example, it is shown that the method can be used for the monitoring of zirconium billets from which nuclear reactor fuel cladding is fabricated by cold rolling.
