Résumé
Previous studies have indicated the possibility of using ultrasonic attenuation as a nondestructive tool for predicting the fracture toughness of metals. In all these studies, however, the fracture toughness was varied by changing microstructure or composition. In the present paper, ultrasonic attenuation is measured in a single sample of constant microstructure (type 403 stainless steel) in which fracture toughness is changed by nearly a factor of three by varying the temperature. Results show that the frequency and temperature dependence of attenuation are in agreement with conventional grain scattering theory and do not correlate with the large changes in K₁c. It is concluded that one of the main difficulties of nondestructively characterizing fracture toughness is that a small variation in one of the material's properties, such as yield stress, can alter the fracture mechanism, leading to very rapid changes in K₁c. In most cases, the modest change in yield stress will be accompanied by similarly modest changes in attenuation, which do not reflect the rapid changes in K₁c.
