ABSTRACT:
A nondestructive evaluation method is described for ultrasonic evaluation and detection of features in polycrystalline materials, such as grain orientation (e.g. texturing) or grain boundary orientation. The method may, for example, be employed to detect diffusion bonds that contain undesirable planar grain boundary arrays. The method utilizes time of flight statistics gathered from reflections associated with incident ultrasonic signals directed into a plurality of locations within the material.
