Nonlinear Ultrasonic Characterization of Oxygen Impurities in Titanium, II.

Abstract

Titanium specimens containing oxygen impurities ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 percent by weight have been examined using nonlinear ultrasonic techniques. The amplitude of the second harmonic ultrasonic response has been observed to deviate from the expected perfect square law behavior. The increasing deviation correlates well with increasing oxygen contamination. Measurements of third harmonic generation showed no significant correlation with oxygen content. Following a brief review of the important results and an introductory section, the theory, experimental techniques and test results are presented in detail.
