Abstract
Higher harmonic generation using nonlinear ultrasonic is known to be very sensitive to microstructural degradation. This technique relies on nonlinear stress-strain relation i.e. nonlinear Hooke's law. The quantitative measurement to characterize the materials degradation is done by the nonlinear ultrasonic parameter, β. The objective of this work is to use nonlinear ultrasonic using Lamb wave to evaluate creep damage in modified 9Cr–1Mo steel. Relative change in β was seen to be dependent on the higher order elastic constants that evolve with microstructure as creep progresses as well as sub-structural changes. The extent of damage in the material due to creep exposure was evaluated by Kernel Average Misorientation (KAM) from EBSD and co-related with nonlinear acoustic parameter.
