Abstract

The possibility of remote detection of ultrasonic waves by measuring the IR radiation from a surface, has been shown experimentally. This effect is based on the adiabatic propagation of the surface waves. Rayleigh waves were excited by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on the surface of a steel sample at temperatures close to 1000 degrees C. The surface temperature was estimated independently by the direct measurement of the surface vibration using a laser heterodyne interferometer. Good correlation of the time-of- flight data of the Rayleigh wave propagation, as well as in evaluated and measured temperature deviation was observed. The possibility of application of this laser ultrasonic technique of material properties evaluation at elevated temperatures is discussed.
