Abstract

A method for high-precision measurement of the group velocity of ultrasound in millimeter-thick metal plates using a laser thermo-optical source of ultrasonic pulses is considered. Thickness-calibrated Gauge blocks are used as samples. The influence of the ultrasonic beam diffraction effect and other technical factors are taken into account. It has been experimentally shown that deconvolution of a signal with a pulse characteristic of a receiving converter, together with digital filtering, helps to reduce the dispersion of group velocity measurements – it is less than 0.2% for samples with thicknesses of 1–2 mm.
