UT – ULTRASONIC

UT – ULTRASONIC TESTING

Ultrasonic testing is one of the main methods of non destructive testing, which means that it allows to detect defects in the entire volume of the tested part/material. This technique is based on the phenomenon of ultrasonic wave dispersion in the tested materials, the waves are introduced into the material by means of ultrasonic head. The ultrasonic testing is achieved by observation of the recorded pulses that are bounced back from any material discontinuities, as well as reflections from the bottom of the tested part. Additionally the information about the size of the reflector (the defect) are gathered and analized, as well as intensity, change of direction or the time of the travel within the material (TOF technique). Depending on the type of ultrasonic waves used in the testing, its possible to detect internal defects, as well as surface and under-surface discontinuities. Ultrasonic testing can be done manually, semi-automatically and fully automatically (for example, fully automated systems on a production line).

APPLICATIONS OF ULTRASONIC TESTING

Ultrasonic testing gives a wide range of applications in industries such as: mettalurgical, energy, rail, aviation, as well as many connected industries, that are also connected with welding. UT is used in commissioning, as well as during production, final checkups, or maintenance during usage. The use of UT is mainly connected with the ability to comprehensively inspect elements with low costs of testing in comparison to other NDT methods. Ultrasonic inspection is quite often done alternately with RT inspection. These days the UT is based on the capability of recording the results of the testing as imaging A, B, C-Scan and using newest technologies based on array heads as in Phased Array (PA) or wave diffraction method (TOFD). Ultrasonic testing is used to check objects made out of ferritic or austenic materials, aluminum, magnesium, copper, copper alloys, lead, nickel, as well as composite materials such as sheets, castings, rods, and in weld inspection.

ADVANTAGES OF ULTRASONIC TESTING

• volumetric inspection
• speed of inspection and direct results of the testing
• capability of testing thick and long elements (in comparison with X-ray techniques)
• precise detection (determining the size and location) of both internal and external defects

DISADVANTAGES OF ULTRASONIC TESTING

• difficulty of testing thin or very small objects, or those with hoarse surface, as well as those with irregular and heterogeneous shapes (for example, complex castings)
