Ultrasonic Verification of the Material Processing for Uranium-Titanium Alloys

In today’s world of rapid growth in the material sciences, knowledge of a material’s mechanical properties has become increasingly important. It has also become very important that this “knowledge” be obtained by some type of nondestructive method. The mechanical properties that are of particular interest to most material scientists are the ones governing elastic behavior. These properties are primarily determined by three basic characteristics: the type of material, the method of processing, and the processing sequence for multiprocessed materials
