Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of non-destructive flaw detection of metal materials, in particular to a device and method for detecting hydrogen damage of (metal) materials by ultrasonic surface waves, especially a detection method for detecting early hydrogen damage of austenitic materials by ultrasonic surface waves. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen damage to metals includes hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen bubbling, and hydrogen-induced cracking. Among them, hydrogen embrittlement can be recovered, while hydrogen bubbling and hydrogen-induced cracking are permanent. It is very important to evaluate the degree of hydrogen damage. At present, the method of evaluating the degree of hydrogen corrosion of metal materials usually adopts the method of material mechanical performance testing. Since this method is a destructive method, this method is not used for testing equipment in service. It is necessary to use non-destructive testing...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the development of ultrasonic hydrogen damage detection technology mainly focuses on the detection method of body wave. losses will vary

If the body wave is used for characterization, the wall thickness of the material needs to be known, and the wall thickness of the material sometimes becomes thinner during use, which is not convenient for body wave detection

However, the method of longitudinal-to-short wave ratio can only be used to determine whether the material is seriously damaged by hydrogen or not, but it cannot be judged well for the initial stage of hydrogen damage of the material.
