Badalyan V. G., Bazulin A. E., Vopilkin A. Kh., Tikhonov D. S. FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED TESTING TECHNIQUES TO ULTRASOUND DEFECTOMETRY (pp. 26-37)
Abstract. Paper describes the general principles and aspects of the automated ultrasonic testing techniques for welded joints using coherent processing systems with SAFT methodology. The features of using devices with the digital processing SAFT- and DFA (SAFT- and DFA-flaw detectors) and devices with PA (Phased arrays flaw detectors) are analyzed. The flaw detectors allow to get image of inspected object with high resolution. The actual parameters of the discontinuities are measured with use of these images. The AUT techniques developed by Ltd. “SPC” ECHO +” are described. They allow to apply the useful features of SAFT-, PA- and DFA-flaw detectors. All inspection techniques are divided into two groups: inspection of pearlitic welded joints and welded joints with a high level of structural noises. The features of the techniques construction depending on the inspection object are given. The examples of practical application of techniques and their main characteristics, such as operating frequency, methods of coherent data processing, resolution and real sizes measurement accuracy, etc. are given.
Keywords: AUT techniques, SAFT, C-SAFT, DFA, Phased array, sizes measurement, measurement accuracy.
