Acoustical Properties of Common Materials Material: Metals

This document provides data on the ultrasonic velocity and acoustic impedance of various common materials, including metals, steel alloys, and zirconium alloys. It shows the longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic velocity in inches per microsecond and millimeters per microsecond, as well as the acoustic impedance, for each material. A wide range of values is given depending on the specific alloy or purity of the metal.
