4 Principles Overview

4.1 This section describes the use of electromagnetic methods to excite surface wave technology, through the reflection of reflected or transmitted waves at the discontinuous interface of sound waves, detection A discontinuity in the surface or near surface of the material. 4.2 Figure 1 shows a typical electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer device that produces surface waves. The applied magnetic field B0 is parallel to the surface of the ferromagnetic material, if the line The circle is designed such that the magnetic field B0 can also be perpendicular to the surface, which can be provided by a permanent magnet, a pulsed electromagnet or a direct current electromagnet. RF foldback The coil is placed flat on the surface of the material to be inspected, and the magnetic lines of force are tangential to the coil and perpendicular to the coil conductor. RF generated by a dedicated pulse generator The pulse train excites the coil, and induces a current on the surface of the material to be inspected, and the current interacts with the external magnetic field through the Lorentz force, and the time-varying magnetic field also Vibration is generated by the interaction of magnetostrictive and ferromagnetic materials. The vibration is transmitted to the solid lattice to form a sound source, which in turn radiates surface acoustic waves. The folded loop shown in Fig. 1 excites a bidirectional wave, and a unidirectional wave can also be excited by a specially designed folded loop. Description. 1 --- foldback coil; 2 --- surface acoustic wave pulse; B0---additional magnetic field; FL---Lorentz force. Figure 1 Typical electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer device for generating surface waves 4.3 Figure 2 shows a typical folded-back coil that excites a surface wave. The foldback coil should satisfy equation (1) to generate surface waves. vR=2Df (1) In the formula. vR --- surface wave velocity in meters per second (m/s); D --- the spacing of adjacent conductors in the coil, in meters (m); f --- Frequency in Hertz (Hz). Description. D---the spacing of adjacent conductors in meters (m). Figure 2 Typical foldback coil for exciting surface waves 4.4 Surface discontinuity causes surface waves to be reflected or transmitted through wave attenuation, which can be detected by pulse reflection or one-shot. The reflected or attenuated ultrasonic waves propagate to the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer where the conductor material vibrates. The vibration in the transducer magnetic field is connected The receiving coil senses a voltage that can be measured.

5 Meaning and use

5.1 Compared with conventional piezoelectric ultrasound, the obvious advantages of electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer technology are in the flexible excitation mode and the absence of couplant. Electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers efficiently excite surface waves. 5.2 Since the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer can efficiently excite surface waves, and the surface wave can sensitively detect the surface and near surface discontinuity, it can be used In the case of traditional penetration and magnetic particle testing, although effective but not suitable for use. 5.3 Because electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer technology is non-contact detection, it can be used for high-speed automatic detection, dynamic detection, long-distance or dangerous places. Detection, high temperature and detection of rough surfaces. 5.4 The purpose of this section is to enhance electromagnetic ultrasonics as an alternative to traditional infiltration and magnetic particle methods for material surface and near surface discontinuities. Detection technology. 5.5 The use of electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers and the choice of operating parameters depend on the geometry of the material being tested and the approximate position of the expected discontinuity. The placement, size, orientation, and reflectivity should also be aware of the allowable lift-off range of the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer and the physical laws of ultrasonic propagation. This section Specialized in the application of electromagnetic ultrasonic surface inspection.

7 technology

7.1 Overview This section describes the following three different electromagnetic ultrasonic surface wave detection techniques. a) detecting the reflection of surface waves by pulse reflection or one-shot technique; b) detecting the transmission attenuation of the surface wave by using a one-shot technique; c) Surface wave diffraction techniques using focused rewinding coils. 7.2 Pulse echo or one-shot and one-shot reflected wave technology This technique is similar to conventional ultrasound in that it uses a (pulse echo method) or two (one-shot-and-received-wave method) electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers. A surface wave reflected from the defect is received to detect the defect. The advantage of this technology is simplicity. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to set the scan path carefully. Detection of discontinuities in all orientations, as well as in weld inspection, reflections from the root and residual height of the weld can interfere with or even bury the discontinuity signal. When such interference occurs, one of the other two techniques described below should be avoided. 7.3 Transmitted wave attenuation technology An example of the most common sensor arrangement for wave attenuation techniques is shown in Figure 3. It is detected by recording the attenuation of the ultrasonic signal. Measure discontinuity. The sensor uses a small permanent magnet to create a narrow surface beam that is perpendicular to each other. It is best to use a two-channel electromagnetic ultrasonic instrument, or Use a single channel instrument. When a single channel is used, the transmitting coil and the receiving coil are respectively connected in series, and a pair of transmitting and receiving sensors are connected The distance is slightly lengthened to separate the two received signals in time. This arrangement allows two sets of transducer coils to be connected simultaneously to one On the channel. One advantage of the attenuation technique is that it is sensitive to discontinuities in all directions. Another advantage is that it can be scanned on both sides of the weld. And the scanning surface on each side is very large. The disadvantages of the attenuation technique are related to the beam width. to meet the minimum 6 dB attenuation, the beam should be narrow or focused. Description. 1---power supply; 2---EMAT pulse receiving unit; 3---computer or oscilloscope; 4---no defect signal; 5---the signal when there is a defect; R---receiving coil; T---transmitting coil. Figure 3 attenuation technology 7.4 Diffraction technology The principle of the diffraction technique is shown in Figure 4. Electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer (transmitting coil and receiving coil) or one pulse with two focal lines overlapping The reflective electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is placed at an angle (diffraction angle) with the center line of the weld, and the root and the residual height of the weld are specularly reflected. The reflected signal is not received by the receiving coil. Diffraction techniques can be used to detect discontinuities over a wide range of angles. Single point diffraction or Multi-dot diffraction depends on the ratio of discontinuity to the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave. Natural defects (such as fatigue cracks) have many points of diffraction source interface, so With this technology, natural defects of several tens of millimeters in length can be effectively detected. The surface wave can be approximated to the focus area (this area can be up to one One of the significant advantages of this is that choosing the right depth of focus increases the coverage of each scan. For most welds, from One half of the weld can be scanned on one side of the weld. In addition to cracks parallel to the incident beam, a single electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer sensor is flexible The discontinuity of all orientations is sensitively detected. Two sensors with positive and negative diffraction angles can sensitively detect discontinuities in all orientations. Description. 1 --- specular reflector (weld seam height or root); 2 --- Weld center line; 3 --- discontinuity; 4 --- weld; 5 --- specular reflector; 6 --- focal line coincident EMAT transmission and reception; 7 --- Receive signal; 8 --- transmitting signal; 9 --- The defect wavefront detected by the receiving coil; 10---The specular reflection that is not detected by the receiving coil.
