It's hard to know where to begin here but let me just say this that given the speed of sound in nickel<http://www.olympus-ims.com/en/ndt-tutorials/thickness-gage/appendices-velocities/> :
5630m/s and 430kHz: 5630m/s;430kHz?mm ([5630 * meter] / second) * (430 * [kilo*hertz])^-1 ? milli*meter = 2.0838194 mm In other words, a 2mm electrode should exhibit resonance at ~430kHz.
