TY - JOUR A1 - Wüstenberg, Hermann A1 - Erhard, Anton A1 - Brekow, Gerhard T1 - Evaluation of different probe concepts of the inspection of claddings JF - Materials evaluation N2 - The comparison of probes for the inspection of cladding shows a remarkable fact: depending on the reflectors used, a different performance characterization of the probe must be expected. It seems important for performance demonstration trials - especially those including the underclad area - to use reflector types as close as possible to the real cracks to be detected. For different detection approaches, reflectors representing underclad cracks should have a reduced diffraction at the crack tip areas in order to check their potential to detect the indication based on surface reflections of the ultrasonic waves.
