Sonelastic® Systems is a fast and non-destructive solution with excellent cost-benefit ratio for elastic moduli characterization of metals and alloys, at room and high temperatures. The elastic moduli characterization of metallic materials is essential to finite element analyses (FEA) accuracy.
The Impulse Excitation Technique applied by Sonelastic® Systems is the most practical and accurate solution for the non-destructive characterization of elastic moduli and damping. Both characterizations reveal information about the presence and evolution of defects, dislocations and the microstructure of metallic materials.
Applications
Sonelastic® Systems characterize the elastic moduli and damping of metallic materials at room temperature and as a function of time and temperature. Sonelastic® main applications for these materials are:- - Refine finite element analyses (FEA)
- - Defects detection and quality control.
- - Study of the microstructure influence on the elastic properties.
- - Evaluation of defects (dislocations, grain boundaries and phase).
- - Monitoring and projecting of tempering processes.
- - Study of fatigue processes.
- - Corrections of creeping tests results.
- - Study of degradation processes by thermochemical treatments and weathering.
