Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for determining a toughness value for a material of a metal part, wherein the method comprises detecting a texture of a carbon steel material using an ultrasonic microscopy unit, wherein the ultrasonic microscopy unit uses one or more waveforms including at least one of straight beam, phased array, shear wave, and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD); determining elemental analysis of the carbon steel material; combining the texture with the elemental analysis to generate a toughness value for the steel; comparing the generated toughness value with a standard curve, wherein when the toughness value falls below the curve, the carbon steel material comprises an acceptable toughness, and when the toughness value falls above the curve, the carbon steel material comprises an unacceptable toughness.
