Abstract:
This report describes investigations into the use of ultrasonic techniques to determine the strength and integrity of ceramic-metal bonds. An acoustic image converter system was used successfully to obtain a television type display of 1/32 inch diameter laminar defects in a zirconium oxide-inconel bond. The measured defect thickness varied between 300 and 500 microinches or about a factor of three greater than the average large grain in the coating material. Schlieren optical and acoustic lens techniques were used to visually investigate detailed properties of ultrasonic fields and the interaction of ultrasonic energy with a solid. The theory of Rayleigh waves was reviewed to provide a framework for experimental integrity determinations of ceramic coatings.
