Zunehmend werden hochpräzise Magnetfeldsensoren in der
Materialprüfung verwendet. Aus dem Zoo der Magnetfeldsensoren eignen sich
GMR-Sensoren (Giant Magneto Resistance) aufgrund ihrer hohen Feld-
Empfindlichkeit, ihrem hohen Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis sowie ihrer kleinen
Sensorflächen (verbunden mit einer hohen Ortsauflösung) hierfür im Besonderen.
Mit GMR-Sensoren wurden Risse untersucht und konnten mit einer Tiefe ≤ 50 µm
noch mit einem guten Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis aufgelöst werden. Die an
Prüfkörpern mit künstlich eingebrachten Defekten gemessenen Streufeldsignale
wurden anhand von analytischen Lösungen verifiziert. Anhand der analytischen
Lösungen wurden auch Defektparameter zu den aufgezeichneten Signalen
rekonstruiert.
Ultrasonic examination of anisotropic inhomogeneous austenitic welds is challenging, because of the columnar grain structure of the weld leads to beam skewing and splitting. Modeling tools play an important role in understanding the ultrasound field propagation and optimization of experimental parameters during the ultrasonic testing of austenitic welds as well as the interpretation of the test results. In this contribution, an efficient theoretical model based on the ray tracing concepts is developed to calculate the ultrasonic fields in inhomogeneous austenitic welds quantitatively. The developed model determines the ultrasound fields by taking into account the directivity of the ray source, the inhomogenity of the weld as well as ray transmission coefficients. Directivity of the ray source in columnar grained austenitic materials (including layback orientation) is obtained in three dimensions based on Lamb's reciprocity theorem. Ray energy reflection and transmission coefficients at an interface between two general columnar grained austenitic materials are calculated in three dimensions. The ray tracing model predictions on inhomogeneous austenitic weld material are compared against those from CIVA, a commercial non-destructive modeling and simulation tool. The ultrasonic modeling tools in CIVA are based on semi-analytical solutions. For beam propagation simulation, a so-called 'pencil method' is used, which involves modeling the probe as a set of individual source points, each radiating 'a bundle' of diverging rays into the medium and integrating those elementary contributions. Inhomogenity in the weld region is approximated by mapping the grain orientations on weld macrograph. Simulation results for ultrasonic field profiles for an austenitic weld are shown to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental results.
In this contribution we present a novel thermo-acoustic approach for the generation of broad band airborne ultrasound and investigate the applicability of resonance-free thermo-acoustic emitters for very short high pressure airborne ultrasound pulses. We report on measurements of thermo-acoustic emitter consisting of a 30 nm thin metallic film on a usual soda-lime glass substrate, generating sound pressure values of more than 140 dB at 60 mm distance from the transducer and compare the results with conventional piezoelectric airborne ultrasound transducers. Our experimental investigations show that such thermo-acoustic devices can be used as broad band emitters using pulse excitation.
In recent years the demand for airborne ultrasound techniques for non-destructive materials testing has increased remarkably. The applications for non-contact airborne ultrasound techniques are very broad and range from detection of flaws in composite laminates, solar cells and printed circuit boards to the applications in medicine and food industry. Conventional piezoelectric ultrasound transducers are mostly narrowbanded, show large resonance oscillations after a short excitation and therefore are generally not suitable for pulse-echo applications. In this contribution we present a novel thermoacoustic approach for the generation of broad band airborne ultrasound and investigate the applicability of resonance-free thermoacoustic emitters for very short high pressure airborne ultrasound pulses. We report on measurements of thermoacoustic emitters consisting of metal film below 50 nm thickness, generating sound pressure values of more than 140 dB in 60 mm distance and compare the results with piezoelectric airborne ultrasound transducers. Our experimental investigations show that such thermoacoustic devices can be used as a broad band emitters using pulse excitation.
In this contribution a simulation tool is developed to compute the energy skewing angles and energy coefficients
for the reflected and refracted plane waves in following general cases: (1) reflection and refraction
of plane elastic waves at an interface between isotropic and transversely isotropic solid, (2) reflection
and refraction of plane elastic waves at an interface between transversely isotropic and isotropic solid, (3)
reflection and refraction of plane elastic waves at an interface between two general transversely isotropic
solid and (4) reflection of plane elastic waves from a stress free boundary of a transversely isotropic solid.
Computational results for analytically evaluated acoustic wave energy skewing angles and energy reflection
and transmission coefficients in acoustically anisotropic materials such as austenitic steel materials
exhibiting columnar grain orientation are presented. The obtained results show that the acoustic energy
skewing angles and coefficients in austenitic steel materials strongly depend upon the columnar grain
orientation and are less influenced by the grain orientations which are parallel and perpendicular to the
interface.
GMR sensors are increasingly used for magnetic surface inspection due to their high
sensitivity and high spatial resolution. In case of simple planar or cylindrical shaped
components, the GMR-based inspection procedure can be automated easily. In order to
reduce the inspection time we present a GMR-based NDT-system consisting of a yoke
and a coil as a local magnetization unit. This way the global magnetization step and, if
necessary, the corresponding demagnetization cycle can be avoided reducing the
number of working steps. Using a local probe we measured plates, bearings, and rails,
each of which containing real fatigue cracks and reference artificial cracks of different
depths and orientations. Cracks with a depth of 40 ìm could be resolved with a signalto-
noise ratio of about 20. A reduction of the measuring time can be obtained using a
sensor array. We present an optimized sensor array for nondestructive testing
application, where gradiometric arranged GMR layers were fabricated on a board with
up to 48 GMR sensors. Each sensor detects the vertical field gradient. In our example
the baseline was chosen to be 250 ìm which efficiently suppress external background
fields without losing sensitivity for the detection of surface breaking defects.
The spatial resolution in ultrasonic testing as a wave phenomenon in nature is limited to a
certain fraction of the wavelength, usually defined to be close to the Rayleigh criterion. In case of
complicated reflector surfaces – such as stress corrosion cracking - this limitation prevents an exact
visualization of the defect shape. There exist a few approaches to improve the spatial resolution, whose
reconstruction quality all in common also depend on the achieved signal-to-noise ratio of the raw data. In this
work we present a specific SAFT analysis, in which a high number of different angles of incidence produce a
sufficiently high number of different reflections at the crack edges resulting in an improved SNR. In doing
so, we reconstruct a coherent crack structure. First investigations were made at artificially simulated crack
configurations with different contours and curvatures in flat and cylindrical test blocks. The measurements
results visualized by representative scans – show details of crack design and crack orientation. We also will
present a comparison of the SAFT analysis between modelling and phased array measurements.
