For investigating the effect of phases on sound velocity, thin disk shaped samples were prepared from AISI 4140 and AISI 5140 steels. An initial heat treatment was applied to all specimens for obtaining a uniform reference microstructure. To eliminate the effect of grain size all specimens were treated identically through austenitization at 850 °C/30 min. Samples, each consisting of only one phase,...
