PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE ULTRASONIC PROPERTIES OF URANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4183944
ABS>A preliminary investigation was mede of the use of ultrasonics for nondestructively measuring preferred orientution and grain size in uranium slugs. Tests were made which define, by a polar plot, the effect of preferred orientution on a reverberating ultrasonic pulse. The average grain diameter was correlated with ultrasonic absorption in grain size investigations. It is proposed that the absorption is largely a scattering phenomenon occurring at the grain boundaries. (C.J.G.)
