Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and in particular to an alternating current electromagnetic field array detection device for uneven welds and an imaging method and system thereof. Background Art

[0002] As an emerging electromagnetic nondestructive testing method, ACFM technology has attracted much attention due to its non-contact detection, no need to remove the surface attachments of the workpiece, and strong adaptability to external environmental conditions. The principle of this technology is to use the detection probe to generate a uniform current on the surface of the workpiece to be inspected. The current generates disturbances around the defect, causing the spatial magnetic field to be distorted. The existence and nature of the defect are evaluated by detecting these distorted magnetic fields.

[0003] At present, ACFM technology mainly relies on characteristic signals Bx and Bz or the butterfly diagram formed by them to judge defects in practical applications. Among them, Bx and Bz signals are magnetic field signals parallel and perpendicular to the workpiece surface respectively. However, relying only on these two characteristic signals can achieve defect location or simple quantitative analysis, but it is difficult to intuitively display the specific size and shape information of the defect.

[0004] However, although the existing ACFM detection technology has improved the detection efficiency to a certain extent, due to the significant differences in the material structure of the weld defect area (including the weld area, heat-affected zone and base material area), coupled with the lift-off effect caused by the uneven weld surface, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the signals of each channel of the ACFM array probe during the detection process, which in turn leads to large errors in defect evaluation. This poses a challenge to achieving comprehensive coverage detection of all areas of the weld, improving signal sensitivity, and obtaining imaging images that can clearly present the defect contour morphology.

The lift-off compensation eliminates the impact of the uneven surface of the weld defect on different channels, thereby improving the consistency of the signal. The base material area, heat-affected zone and weld area of ​​the weld defect are divided and regional signal compensation is performed; finally, the processed signal is used to draw a three-dimensional imaging diagram of the weld defect, making the outline of the defect more intuitive and clear.
