Introduction
The ultrasonic inspection of austenitic steel components and dissimilar steel welds is usually difficult, which is mainly due to its structure, grain size, and different materials.
The material properties are related to the mechanical and acoustic properties of anisotropy. These characteristics are distinct from the isotropic characteristics of low-alloy steel welds.
Compared.
Austenitic welds and other coarse-grained anisotropic materials significantly affect ultrasonic propagation. In addition, fusion lines and/or columnar crystals may produce
Acoustic beam distortion, abnormal reflection and wave form conversion. Therefore, it is difficult for ultrasonic to penetrate the weld metal, and sometimes it cannot penetrate the weld metal.
This type of metal ultrasonic detection technology is different from conventional ultrasonic detection technology. This type of detection technology usually does not use conventional shear wave oblique probes, and
Use oblique incident longitudinal wave dual crystal probe or creeping wave probe.
In addition, it is necessary to make a typical reference test block with welds so as to study the inspection process and set the initial
Start sensitivity level, evaluate and confirm the effectiveness of the testing process. Refer to the characteristics of the material, groove, welding process, size and surface condition of the test block
The point is consistent with the inspected part.
