Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

Mechanical properties of metals depend strongly on the grain size. The yield strength, for example, is generally inversely proportional to the square root of the grain diameter (Hall-Petch equation) [1]. For this reason, steel and other industries spend a great deal of effort in measuring and ensuring the desired grain size. In a common practical technique, samples are cut from the actual product and the number of grains per unit area are measured by optical methods. This method is time consuming and a hundred-percent inspection is impossible because the delay would affect the product’s net output. Thus, there is an interest to develop a nondestructive, on-line technique capable of rapid measurement of grain size.
