钢板电磁超声检测方法的实验分析-experimental analysis of steel plate electromagnetic acoustic transducer method.docxVIP

AbstractElectromagnetic acoustic transducer(EMAT) technology is a new ultrasonic testing method. Compared with the traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic, EMATs have many advantages, such as contactlessness, need-no-couplant. These features make EMATs particularly suitable for the nondestructive inspection under high temperature and other severe environment. The EMATs inspection method for steel plate is researched with experiments in detail in this thesis.Firstly, the method of transit time calculation used to thickness measurement is specially researched. According to the deficiency of existing methods of propagation time measurement, a method of transit time measurement is presented based on spline interpolation and cross-correlation time delay estimation. The experimental results show that this method gets 1ns time resolution under 100MHz hardware sampling rate. A 3mm thick steel plate is repeatedly measured with this method, and the relative error less than 0.02%.Secondly, the magnetostrictive-based shear horizontal(SH) wave detection method of steel plates is researched. Because of the flexible frequency control, the horizontal magnetization and a meanderline coil are chosen to constitute the transducer structure. The signal of conventional EMAT for the SH wave is weak. An improved transducer structure is presented, and finite element calculation results of magnetic field show that this structure enhances the intensity of magnetic field, so as to increase the signal amplitude. The experimental results show that this structure increases the signal amplitude and thereby improving the detectability. In the 2 mm thick steel plate, a through hole located in the distance of 100mm from the receiving transducer is detected, the diameter of which is 2 mm.Finally, according to the phenomenon that the SH wave is driven weakly in thick steel plates and get multi-modes signals, which interfere the detection results, the surface wave detection method is researched.
