Abstract: | Photoacoustic measurement techniques can be used to determine thermal properties on and below the sample’s surface, thus subsurface
thermal inhomogeneities, such as continuous profiles of thermal parameters, become measurable by photoacoustic methods. In
this paper, the study is focused on the quantitative characterization of material modifications in subsurface layers of laser-hardened
Al alloy samples. The variation of surface temperature is measured by PA technique. Then a new numerical algorithm, carried
out by employing the pulsed spectrum technique and the regularization method, is used to reconstruct thermal conductivity
depth profiles. The experiment results demonstrate that the experiment and the algorithm are very effective for microstructure
depth profile reconstruction by nondestructive method.
