This attenuation is very small in, The echo from a small natural flaw is usually smaller for instance, fine grained steel, and also in many small than the echo from an artificial comparison flaw (e.g. components made of other materials. circular disc reflector) of the same size. This is due, for If, however, the sound travels a large distance into the instance, to t
