Abstract

Accurate ultrasonic sound velocity is crucial for the calibration of Ultrasonic Testing (UT) equipment used for material’s flaw characterisation and material’s properties studies [1], especially for anisotropic additive manufacturing (AM) products. This report communicates the results of a twofold-objective study. First, velocity measurements of the ultrasonic longitudinal waves in different directions on additively manufactured metallic parts using the pulse-echo technique to quantify the effect of anisotropy on the sound velocity, which can be then used for reliable equipment calibration or study of mechanical properties. Second, generation of the Distance-Amplitude Correction (DAC) curves for inspecting the additively manufactured metallic parts.
