Abstract

Higher order harmonic analysis of ultrasonic signal has been applied to study the precipitation kinetics of 18Ni maraging steel. The material has been solution annealed (SA) at a temperature of 1088 K for 1 h and then air quenched. Ageing of SA materials have been done at 728 K for different durations of 10 min to 100 h and air cooled. It has been found that the measurement parameter of this new technique increases with the formation of finer precipitates at the initial stage of ageing till 12 h and then decreases at longer holding time with the coarsening of precipitates.
