introduction
Ultrasonic technology has firmly established its position in the field of nondestructive testing. Initially, ultrasound was mainly generated through the piezoelectric effect.
The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is an effective method for generating ultrasound. However, its drawback is that in order for ultrasound to enter smoothly...
The material under test requires a liquid as a coupling medium. When using a coupling agent, the material under test is typically immersed in the liquid or a thin layer is applied to the surface of the material.
liquid.
Electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers can emit and receive ultrasonic waves without contacting the material being tested. However, electromagnetic ultrasonic testing has limitations.
The image is a metallic material (ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic). The ultrasonic transmitter of an electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer consists of a metal coil, which is placed on a metallic material.
Ultrasonic waves are generated by exciting a material (ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic) in a steady magnetic field using an alternating current. The surface of the metallic material is affected by the alternating current...
The principle of the device is to induce a current, and the current in the magnetic field is subjected to the Lorentz force to generate an oscillating stress wave (sometimes in ferromagnetic conductive materials, magnetostriction).
(The combined effect of contractile force and Lorentz force). When receiving ultrasound, the conductor surface oscillates in the magnetic field, inducing a voltage in the coil. The above-mentioned...
The entire exchange process occurs within the electromagnetic skin layer of the material. An electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is a non-contact ultrasonic transmitter with excellent repeatability.
