17、Significance and Use5.1 The measurement of apparent attenuation in materials is useful in applications such as the comparison of heat treatmentsof different lots of material or the assessment of the degradation of materials due to environment.5.2 Several different modes of wave vibration can be prop

18、agated in solids. This practice is concerned with the attenuationassociated with longitudinal waves introduced into the specimen by the immersion method.5.3 This practice allows for the comparison of the apparent attenuations of geometrically similar specimens.5.4 For the determination of apparent a

19、ttenuation, the procedures described herein are valid only for measurements in the farfield of the ultrasonic beam.6.

27、3 CouplantNormally water. See PracticeTerminology E214E1316 for alternatives7.4 Reference BlockThe use of a reference block is suggested to evaluate the stability of the measurement system ifmeasurements will be made over a period of time. The reference block should have acoustic properties similar

28、to those of theexamined material in the frequency range of interest.8. Specimen8.1 Geometric SimilarityWhen comparing the apparent attenuations of two or more materials or components, the specimensused must be geometrically similar. They must be flat and parallel within 0.008 in. 0.20 mm/in. 25.4 mm

29、 of diameter or crosssection and differ in thickness by no more than a factor of 2. The cross section of each specimen must meet the requirements of7.28.2.8.2 Minimum DimensionsThe thickness of the specimen (parallel to the ultrasonic beam) shall be of a dimension so that atleast two back surface re

30、flections can be resolved at the frequency of interest. The dimensions normal to the ultrasonic beam shallbe much greater than the beam width and wavelength (at least three times the transducer dimension) so that side wall echoes donot interfere with the measurements.NOTE 1For the determination of t

31、rue attenuation, careful consideration must be made of parameters such as front surface and back surface parallelism,surface finish, etc. However, useful apparent attenuation information can be obtained if the requirements of 7.18.1 and 7.28.2 are satisfied.E664/E664M 1529. Procedure9.1 Measure the

32、thickness of the specimen to an accuracy of 60.001 in. 60.03 mm or 60.1 %, whichever is greater.9.2 Place the sample in a suitable immersion tank.9.3 Place the search unit in a fixture suitable for manipulating the sound entry angle and lateral position. Position the searchunit over the sample, and

33、angulate the beam to obtain the maximum number of back reflections. See Fig. 1. The water path shouldbe such that the entry surface is in the far field of the ultrasonic beam.NOTE 2If the frequency and dimensions of the transducers available do not readily permit the top surface of sample to be in t

34、he far field, this methodmay be used provided the back reflections measured and recorded are in the far field of the sound beam.9.3.1 With the reject level set at zero, measure and record the amplitudes of any two back reflections that show decreasingamplitude with increase in back reflection number

35、.NOTE 3If the apparent attenuation of two or more materials or components are to be compared, the same two back reflections should be selectedfor each sample.9.3.2 Determine the apparent attenuation by the relationship indicated below. The apparent attenuation will be in terms ofdecibels per unit le

36、ngth as defined by the units of thickness.Apparent attenuation520 log10 AmAn2n 2m! Twhere:Am andAn = amplitudes of the mth and nth back reflections (n m), andT = specimen thickness.NOTE 4When instruments are used that have dB calibrated gain control, the measurements in decibels may be used instead

37、of amplitudemeasurements. The dB control is used to bring the amplitude of the nth reflection up to the amplitude of the mth reflection and the gain in decibels issubstituted for the numerator in the attenuation formula. The formula then becomes:dB2n 2m! T10. Report10.1 The report should include the
