When high frequency longitudinal and transverse sound waves are sent through a multicrystalline rod of metal, attenuation losses result because of scattering and diffusion of sound waves by the grains. When the grain size is less than one‐third of the wave‐length, these losses are due to Rayleigh fourth power law scattering and are proportional to the grain volume. The scattering factor depends on the anisotropy of the elastic constants. Two different factors are obtained, one for shear waves and one for longitudinal waves. These factors have been evaluated for cubic and hexagonal metals. From the measured elastic constants the only metals with a low loss are aluminum, magnesium, and tungsten. The calculations indicate that the losses for aluminum and magnesium are about equal for longitudinal waves, but for shear waves magnesium has a very low shear loss. It has been found experimentally that magnesium has nearly as low a loss as fused quartz.Experiments with higher frequencies show that when the wave‐le...
