[0070] Figure 2 It is an architecture diagram of a system for detecting internal and external surface defects of TA22 titanium alloy tubes provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0071] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a method for detecting internal and external surface defects of TA22 titanium alloy tubes provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0073] In this embodiment, a method for detecting internal and external surface defects of TA22 titanium alloy tubes includes steps S10, S20, S30, S40, S50, S60, and S70.

[0074] Step S10: Arrange ultrasonic sensors, and obtain signal data on the internal and external surfaces of TA22 titanium alloy tubes according to the ultrasonic sensors. The specific steps are as follows:

[0075] Ultrasonic sensors are evenly arranged on the inner and outer surfaces of TA22 titanium alloy tubes to achieve full coverage of the detection signal data.

[0076] It should be noted that to ensure comprehensive and accurate detection, the layout density and position of the ultrasonic sensors need to be selected according to the geometric dimensions of the tubes and the detection requirements; the layout scheme adopts an equally spaced arrangement to ensure the complete coverage of the signal data on the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes.

[0077] The transmitting end of the ultrasonic sensor adjusts the transmitting angle so that the ultrasonic signal data forms a uniformly distributed acoustic field on the surface of the tube.

[0078] It should be noted that the uniformity of the acoustic field is pre-designed through simulation software, and the transmitting angle is controlled by a stepper motor, with an adjustment range of 0° to 45° to cover the detection area of complex curved surfaces; the sensor uses a pulse method when transmitting signal data, and the duration of the signal data is controlled at the microsecond level to ensure the time resolution of the detection.

[0079] The receiving-end sensors are arranged in a circular distribution around the outer surface of the tube, evenly arranged to ensure the spatial coverage rate of signal data acquisition.

[0080] It should be noted that the specific spacing of the circular distribution of the receiving-end sensors is optimized according to the tube diameter and the ultrasonic propagation attenuation characteristics; for tubes with a diameter larger than the conventional model, the spacing of the receiving-end sensors is set to 5 mm to 20 mm to ensure the integrity of the echo signal data.

[0081] The receiving-end sensors adjust the receiving angle and sensitivity in real time to adapt to the local changes on the surface of the tube. The adjustment formula is:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, is the adjusted receiving angle of the i-th receiving-end sensor, is the initial receiving angle, ε is the sensitivity parameter, reflecting the response ability of the receiving angle to surface changes, and ΔR is the local geometric change amount on the surface of the tube; the obtained signal data includes the morphological information on the surface of the tube and the echo signal of internal defects, and the signal data provides a data basis for the subsequent steps.

[0084] It should be noted that the adjustment of the receiving angle is achieved through the control of a stepper motor, and the adjustment of the sensitivity is completed through the gain control of the amplifier.

[0085] Step S20: According to the signal data, an adaptive filtering algorithm is used to denoise it. The denoising formula is:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, the adaptive filtering algorithm uses the least mean square error algorithm to dynamically update the filtering coefficients and optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal data; represents the signal data after denoising, and w i (n) is the adaptive weight of the filter, x(n - i) is the input signal data, and V is the order of the filter.

[0088] It should be noted that the adaptive filtering algorithm dynamically adjusts the filter weight w i (n) according to the change of the input signal data x(n) to separate the signal data from the noise; the output of the filter is the signal data after filtering, which has a higher signal-to-noise ratio; the order V of the filter determines the coverage range of the historical data in the signal data. The larger the order, the wider the response range of the filter, but the computational complexity also increases; the specific order is selected according to the characteristics of the actual detected signal data, and the value range is limited between 10 and 50; the adaptive filter dynamically updates the weight w i (n) by the least mean square error algorithm to minimize the error between the output signal data and the desired signal data, thereby optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio; the signal data after denoising not only retains the key features of the original signal data but also suppresses the interference of environmental noise, providing input data with stable quality for subsequent analysis steps.

[0089] Step S30: According to the signal data after denoising, use the time-frequency analysis algorithm to perform enhancement processing on it, and its enhancement formula is:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, the short-time Fourier transform is used to perform time-frequency decomposition on the signal data after denoising, enhance the signal intensity of the low-frequency part, and suppress the high-frequency noise; U(t, f) represents the time-frequency representation after the short-time Fourier transform, represents the signal data after denoising; w(t - n) represents the window function; f represents the frequency, and t represents the center position of the discrete time window.

[0092] It should be noted that the short-time Fourier transform is a time-frequency analysis method. By segmenting the signal data for analysis, it can simultaneously obtain the time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of the signal data. The introduction of the window function w(t-τ) ensures the stability of the signal data within the local time window. The enhanced function of the time-frequency analysis algorithm is mainly reflected in the enhancement of the low-frequency part of the signal data and the suppression of high-frequency noise. By dynamically adjusting the amplitude of Y(t, f), the algorithm can highlight the signal data with low-frequency characteristics and filter out high-frequency noise at the same time. The result of the short-time Fourier transform is represented in the form of a time-frequency diagram, where the horizontal axis is time, the vertical axis is frequency, and the color or brightness of the image represents the intensity of the signal data. This result provides a basis for the input data of the subsequent convolutional neural network. The application of the time-frequency analysis algorithm needs to combine the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal data, perform the short-time Fourier transform on each segment of the signal data separately, store the processed enhanced signal data in digital form, and set the sampling rate according to the characteristics of the signal data. The lower limit of the sampling rate is set to 1 GHz.

[0093] Step S40: According to the enhanced signal data, use a convolutional neural network to extract its defect features. The specific steps for extracting the obtained defect features are as follows:

[0094] Configure the convolutional neural network structure, segment the data set, train and optimize the configured convolutional neural network to obtain the optimized convolutional neural network. Input the enhanced signal data into the optimized convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network extracts features from the enhanced signal data, and based on the extracted defect features, perform a visual mapping of the defect features.

[0095] It should be noted that the structure design of the convolutional neural network includes an input layer, a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer. The configuration is optimized according to the characteristics of the enhanced signal data. The convolutional layer is used to extract the local features of the signal data, the pooling layer reduces redundant data through dimensionality reduction, the fully connected layer maps the features into high-dimensional vectors, and the output layer is used to classify the defect features.

[0096] Furthermore, it should be noted that to improve the training effect, the enhanced signal data is segmented into a training set, a validation set, and a test set, with a segmentation ratio of 8:1:1. The training set is used to train the convolutional neural network, the validation set is used to adjust the network parameters, and the test set is used to evaluate the network performance.

[0097] Furthermore, it should be noted that the training process uses the supervised learning method, uses the labeled defect feature data as labels, and updates the network weights through the backpropagation algorithm. The optimization methods include:

[0098] Learning rate adjustment: The initial learning rate is set to 0.001 and gradually decays as the number of training rounds increases; Regularization processing: L2 regularization is introduced to avoid overfitting; Data augmentation: The training samples are extended by translating and scaling the signal data to improve the generalization ability of the network.

[0099] Furthermore, it should be noted that the optimized convolutional neural network receives the time-frequency features of the enhanced signal data and uses them as input data; The convolutional layer extracts the local features of the input signal data through convolutional kernels, and the size, number, and stride of each layer of convolutional kernels are designed according to the characteristics of the signal data; After feature extraction, the generated feature map contains the spatial distribution, type, and signal intensity of the defects.

[0100] Furthermore, it should be noted that the visualization mapping reduces the high-dimensional features to three-dimensional space to generate a 3D point cloud map; Different types of defects are mapped to different colors or brightness levels to facilitate the operator to intuitively understand the type and distribution of the defects.

[0101] Step S50: Introduce the characteristic factor of TA22 titanium alloy material to recheck and determine the defect characteristics, and obtain the defect analysis result after recheck and determination. The specific steps are as follows:

[0105] It should be noted that The value range of

[0109] Furthermore, it should be noted that R max is determined by measuring the influence of different roughnesses on the fatigue performance of TA22 titanium alloy, determining the critical roughness value according to the influence, introducing a roughness safety factor based on the critical roughness value, and substituting the critical roughness value and the roughness safety factor into the calculation to obtain the specific value of R max .

[0110] R max = R crit ·(1 - S f )

[0111] where R crit is the critical roughness value determined by experiments, and Sf is the safety factor, with a value range of 0.1 to 0.2.

[0112] For the review of inner surface defect features, calculate the comprehensive confidence level C in according to the formula. When C in ≥ T in

[0113] , it is determined that the inner surface detection result is consistent; otherwise, it is marked as a divergence point, and the defect features marked as divergence points will be fed back to the convolutional neural network and used to adjust the weights of the convolutional neural network; the formula for calculating the inner surface determination threshold is:

[0116] It should be noted that ΔR is calculated by comparing the actual inner surface roughness value with the preset target value, and the specific formula is:

[0117] ΔR = R actual - R target

[0118] where R actual is the actually measured roughness value of the inner surface, and R targetis the preset target value, and the preset target value determines the range based on the pipe design requirements, usage environment, and processing capabilities of TA22 titanium alloy, and is obtained by combining the measured value with the standard surface roughness range of the pipe. ΔR is the deviation value of the maximum roughness of the current inner surface.

[0119] Introduce the fatigue factor to recheck the external surface defect characteristics of TA22 titanium alloy pipes, specifically:

[0122] It should be noted that takes a value of 0 or 1, where 0 indicates non-matching and 1 indicates matching.

[0123] Furthermore, it should be noted that the weight distribution of the external surface defect characteristics is calculated based on the influence degree of the defect characteristics, and the calculation formula is:

[0126] It should be noted that takes a value range of 0 or 1, where 0 indicates matching and 1 indicates non-matching.

[0127] Furthermore, it should be noted that the yield strength is obtained through a tensile test, which is carried out according to the standard test procedure ASTM E8 / E8M. The specific steps are as follows:

[0128] A1. Prepare specimens of standard size.

[0129] A2. Apply a load to the specimen using a tensile testing machine and record the relationship between stress and strain.

[0130] A3. Take a 0.2% offset value in the stress-strain curve as the yield strength.

[0131] Furthermore, it should be noted that the stress distribution value is calculated by the finite element method based on stress field analysis, specifically:

[0132]

[0133] In the formula, F is the applied load, A i is the effective cross-sectional area at the location of the defect, and σ i is the stress distribution value.

[0134] For the review of the outer surface defect characteristics, calculate the comprehensive confidence level C according to the formula out ; when C out ≥T out , it is determined that the outer surface detection result is consistent; otherwise, it is marked as a divergence point, and the defect characteristics marked as divergence points will be fed back to the convolutional neural network and used to adjust the weights of the convolutional neural network; the formula for calculating the outer surface determination threshold is:

[0138] B1. Determine the fatigue strength of the material at different numbers of cycles through fatigue tests.

[0139] B2. Combine the service environment and introduce the fatigue safety factor U f for calculation:

[0142] Step S60: Based on the defect analysis results after review and determination, predict the expansion of the defect. The specific steps are as follows:

[0143] According to the defect analysis results, predict the expansion path of the defect, specifically:

[0144] P(t) = P 0 +(v 0 +β·K·t)·t

[0145] In the formula, P(t) represents the spatial position of the defect at time t, P 0 is the initial position of the defect, v 0 is the initial expansion speed of the defect, β is the crack growth factor of TA22 titanium alloy; K is the stress intensity factor of the defect.

[0146] It should be noted that the crack growth factor is obtained based on fatigue crack growth tests and by fitting the Paris law formula:

[0147] β = C·(ΔK) m

[0148] In the formula, C and m are experimental fitting constants, ΔK is the stress intensity factor range, and β is the crack growth factor of TA22 titanium alloy.

[0149] Furthermore, it should be noted that the stress intensity factor of the defect is calculated by the following formula:

[0150]

[0154] In the formula, S(t) is the size of the defect at time t, S 0 is the initial defect size, k is the material expansion rate constant, and λ is the expansion saturation factor.

[0155] It should be noted that the material expansion rate constant is obtained by obtaining crack growth rate data through fatigue crack growth experiments; and based on the Paris law formula determine k; introduce the environmental correction factor η in combination with the working environment of the material, and finally calculate k = k base ·η.

[0156] It should be further noted that the extended saturation factor records the stage when crack growth tends to saturate, and determines λ according to the formula and combines the maximum allowable crack length a max and material properties to calculate By introducing the environmental correction factor μ, finally calculate λ = λ base ·μ to obtain.

[0157] Step S70: Generate a detection report according to the prediction result. The specific steps are as follows:

[0158] According to the defect prediction result, extract the defect information, which includes the specific location, defect type, defect size, defect propagation path and defect evolution trend of the defect. Integrate the defect information and generate a detection report, which includes: a three-dimensional model of the defect distribution, marking the specific location, defect size and defect type of the defect; a dynamic curve graph of the defect propagation trend; after the detection report is generated, feedback the detection report to the operator, and the operator maintains the pipe.

[0159] It should be further noted that the generation of the detection report is based on a standardized data template, including the following parts:

[0160] A three-dimensional model of the defect distribution, generated by a three-dimensional modeling tool, marking the location and range of the defect in different colors; a dynamic curve graph of the defect propagation trend, visualizing the prediction result as an expansion trend curve changing with time, intuitively showing the future change of the defect; statistical information on the defect type and size, listing the specific parameters and detection results of various defects in tabular form.

[0161] It should be further noted that the detection report is transmitted to the operator in real time through a digital platform. The operator formulates a corresponding maintenance plan according to the defect distribution and trend analysis results in the report.

[0162] Thus, a method for detecting internal and external surface defects of TA22 titanium alloy pipes is completed.
