Program initiation date: June 15, 1999<br />

Objectives:<br />

• To gain the fundamental understanding of the ultrasonic properties of titanium <strong>for</strong>gings that is<br />

needed to provide a foundation <strong>for</strong> the development of reliable inspection methods that provide<br />

uni<strong>for</strong>mly high sensitivity throughout the <strong>for</strong>ging envelope.<br />

• To acquire the data necessary to relate the detectability of defects in <strong>for</strong>gings to component<br />

properties (flow line characteristics, surface curvature) and defect properties (size, shape,<br />

composition, location, and orientation) thereby providing a foundation <strong>for</strong> the design of<br />

improved inspections and the evaluation of inspection capability.<br />

Approach:<br />

Sample Fabrication: A critical flaw list <strong>for</strong> titanium <strong>for</strong>gings will be generated in cooperation with<br />

RISC including description of typical morphologies <strong>for</strong> use in the model development ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />

This list will be used to define a limited set of <strong>for</strong>ging standards with embedded defects.<br />

Forging samples with varying flow line characteristics and surface curvatures, some of which will<br />

contain flat-bottomed holes or synthetic inclusions will be defined and manufactured.<br />

De<strong>for</strong>mation models will be used to predict variations in metal flow distributions and guide the<br />

sample development. Approximately 32 coupons from <strong>for</strong>gings with varying flow line directions,<br />

flow line densities, and geometrical curvatures (concave and convex) will be acquired. Samples<br />

available from the CBS and TRMD programs will be utilized to the extent possible.<br />
