Characterizing Martensitic Steel with Measurements of Ultrasonic Velocity

  • Chapter

Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the longitudinal and transverse velocities of ultrasound and the microstructure of martensitic steel, which changes due to the tempering process. The hardness of a material is determined by its microstructure.
