title: Texture measurement of shaped material by impulse acoustic microscopy
abstract: All the microstructural parameters involved in metallurgical processes are difficult to determine directly on a shaped material. The aim of this paper is to use an impulse line-focus acoustic microscope (LFAM) as a non-destructive alternative to X-ray diffraction for measuring texture of slightly anisotropic materials. We apply it to characterize the rolling and annealing texture for tantalum sheets.
