Measurement of Ultrasonic Wave Velocities in Polycrystalline Specimens of Carbon Steels by Total Reflection Technique

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity has been measured in three different carbon steels in their commercially received and annealed conditions and in two of them in quenched condition by total reflection technique at room temperature and at 5 Mc. The elastic constants of these samples have been calculated by known relations in velocities and elastic constants, and their magnitude variation has been discussed.
