The Blemish Identify in Ultrasonic Testing of Friction Welded Joints Based on Fractal Theory

Abstract:

The friction welded joints made by GH4169 heat metal alloys are detected by U1traPAC system of the ultrasonic wave explore instrument. Aimed at the blemish signal characteristics, a method is put forward to identify the blemish signal in ultrasonic testing of friction welded joints based on fractal theory., A new kind of fractal dimension number calculation method—normalized scale box-counting dimension method is used to calculate the box-dimension of the blemish signal, and statistic and analysis the scopes of the box-dimension of the blemish signal and the square differ of the result. The preliminary experimental results show that the blemish signal and have each fractal dimension zones, and don’t hand over to fold. So it can use to judge whether the blemish exist or not. The method is identified to have better covariance characteristics about the blemish identify of the friction welded joints.
