Regelwerke zur zerstörungsfreien Bestimmung des Reinheitsgrades wie das SEP 1927 und die ASTM E588 erreichen ihre Vergleichbarkeit unter Anwendung von - vergleichsweise einfachen - Referenzfehlern. Hinsichtlich Realisierbarkeit wird somit der Kompromiss zwischen Herstellung des Referenzfehlers und der erreichbaren Nachweisgrenze gefunden. Zur Weiterentwicklung über die Grenzen der SEP1927 hinaus, wurde der Versuch unternommen Fehler kleiner 500 μm herzustellen - welche aufgrund der geringen geometrischen Ausdehnung fertigungsbedingt schwierig zu realisieren sind. Bei den vergleichenden Untersuchungen kristallisierten sich zwei Fertigungsverfahren, Funkenerosion (EDM: electrical discharge maching) und die Fertigung der Bohrungen unter Verwendung eines Hochleistungslasers, als vielversprechend heraus. Zunächst wurden die Fehler mit beiden Verfahren in unterschiedlichen Größen (100, 250 und 100 μm) und Tiefen (1, 1,5 und 2 mm) unter Anwendung von computertomographischen Verfahren der Röntgenprüfung, die Geometrie der eingebrachten Fehlstellen und anschließend durch hochauflösende Tauchtechnikmessungen das Reflektionsverhalten charakterisiert.
With increased usage of highly demanded, modern materials on safety
relevant parts (e.g. railway wheel sets, generator shafts, turbine disks, medical
implants, etc.) comprehensive analyses regarding the quality of the material are
requested. This gives a focus to non-destructive methods using ultrasound immersion
tank testing for classifying the degree of purity. Two autonomous standards,
ASTM E588 and SEP 1927, have been established for the definition, execution and
evaluation for this high resolution ultrasonic measurements on steel products.
The propagation of ultrasonic waves and the resulting sound field are strongly
dependent on the acoustical properties of the inspected material and the geometry
of probes and specimen. The definition of the measurement setup and the evaluation
methods appear to differ significantly in the given standards. ASTM E588 and
SEP 1927 prescribe the requirement for surface roughness and probe selection, are
using threshold based methods for cleanliness detection, but differ in computation
for the degree of purity. This has been the motivation for a comparison between
both standards with the main focus on amplitude depth dependency and overall spatial
resolution taking the influence of different material characteristics, geometry of
the specimen and sound fields into account.
A performance comparison between the use of non-focusing and focusing probes
respective to the threshold based detection will be presented in this contribution. In
addition, the usage of complex reconstruction algorithms (e.g. SAFT, echo tomography)
is compared with the traditional approaches of inclusion detection and
estimation of the degree of purity
In respect of modern approaches in material sciences and highly increased
requirements on materials on safety relevant components, quality management
and non-destructive testing reclaims a steadily increased meaning. The
destructive meaning of measuring the degree of purity is defined in DIN EN 10247
through metallurgical investigations, especially microsections.
For and comparable, but non-destructive testing due ultrasonic testing, the material
the SEP 1927 is a well-defined industry standard. A novel and alternative way
of reference block construction was focused by this work. The proposed amendments,
regarding the manufacturing and machining, are less time and cost consuming.
Verified by measurements the presented reference block fits the same acoustical
characteristics and the requirements of the guideline.
