Figure 3. Comparison of peak (red) and average (blue) gated-peak noise levels in the Honeywellsupplied<br />
Ti 6-4 <strong>for</strong>ging coupons. Noise levels are relative to the amplitude of a (hypothetical) #1<br />
FBH located at the same depth in Ti 6-4 material. For each coupon eight values are shown,<br />
corresponding to different combinations of inspection directions and analysis quadrant.<br />

Figure 4. Measured average attenuation curve and associated power-law fit <strong>for</strong> the highest-noise<br />
coupon from the Honeywell Ti 6-4 <strong>for</strong>ging. The large arrow in the cross-sectional drawing of the<br />
<strong>for</strong>ging identifies the coupon and inspection direction. A 10-MHz, 0.25”-diameter planar probe was<br />
used. Average results are shown <strong>for</strong> the full scan region (central 1.5” x 0.75” of the entry surface)<br />
and <strong>for</strong> a reduced-area region (central 1.25” x 0.50”). Multiply attenuation values by 22.06 to<br />
change to dB/inch units.<br />
