Ultrasonic TOFD Method for near Surface Defect Detection Using Longitudinal Secondary Wave

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aim at the problem of near surface blind area in ultrasonic TOFD technique, a new testing mode combined to ultrasound time of flight diffraction-reflection(TOFDR) and the three-fold reflected(TOFDW) based on secondary longitudinal waves was put forward. Through analysis the transmission characteristics of TOFDR and TOFDW, the two modes of the detection principle were illustrated, and discussed the ability in near surface detection of the two methods. Finally through the detecting artificial defects detection, the signal and image characteristics and detection sensitivity under the modified detection mode were studied. The artificial defect with buried depth of 1mm can be effectively detected from the D-scan image by the combined TOFDR and TOFDW methods.
