Linear and matrix phased array inspection of complex thin wall components
- The application of phased arrays in either linear or matrix arrangement in combination with signal processing opens the door for the mechanized inspection of different thin wall materials itself as well as their joining methods. Modern lightweight components are typically manufactured by a composition of different types of e.g. steels, metals, fiber reinforced plastics and glass. Dependent on the material combinations e.g. welding, brazing, bonding, cladding or coating may be applied during the manufacturing process to join different semi-finished products to form the component. The resulting complex material composition and different damage mechanisms pose new challenges to non-destructive testing with ultrasound due to the different material properties and the overall arrangement of the materials employed. The sound field variation capabilities of array probes may be helpful to overcome some of these challenges if adapted to the specific inspection task.
