Commercial jet engine manufactures rely hevily on their ability to accurately predict the life of critical components such as high pressure turbine disks. These predictions depend, to a great extent, on the ability of ultrasonic inspection techniques to resolve non-metallic inclusions in finished parts. Consequently premium quality components require a high degree of ultasonic inspectability. Furthermore, the need for early detection and removal of defective material from processing requires forging stock to have a similar level of inspectability. It was the purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of grain structure and phase morphology on the ultrasonic response of high strength nickel-based superalloy billets. Various P/M and cast/wrought billets were characterized and rated with respect to structure, penetration and noise levels. Observations indicate that P/M processing offers a significant improvemnent in inspectability. This high level of inspectability is associated with the fine uniform structures of P/M materials.
