Thin-sheet rolled low-carbon manganese steel 09G2S with a thickness of 0,8 mm which has strong property anisotropy due to texture and residual stresses, was experimentally studied using SH-wave with horizontal polarization and zero-order symmetric Lamb wave mode. The velocities of elastic wave propagation along the sheet were analyzed as their direction and polarization varied relative to the rolling direction in the range of angles from 0 to 180 degrees. The excitation and reception of normal waves in the sheet were carried out by piezoelectric transducers with dry point contact, providing tangential force application. The results of the research on the anisotropy of acoustic properties, X-ray structural analysis of residual stresses and inverse pole figures, and metallographic studies were obtained.
