Tomographic Determination of Temperature Distribution in Billets (RESEARCH NOTES)

The principles of Ultrasonic Computed Tomography (UCT) are reviewed in this paper. The UCT is a powerful nondestructive technique in medicine and recently in industry to reveal an image of a slice of an object or body. The advantage of UCT over other conventional techniques in imaging is that a computed tomogram yields quantitative information about the section of interest. Experimental works o...
