[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Ultrasonic nondestructive testing is a technology that uses the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in materials to detect internal defects of materials. By emitting ultrasonic waves, it is determined whether there are defects such as cracks and pores inside the material based on the reflected waves, without damaging the object being tested, so as to ensure the quality of the project and the safe operation of the equipment. In the industrial field, ultrasonic nondestructive testing can be used to test various materials such as metals and non-metals, discover potential problems in a timely manner, avoid accidents caused by material defects, reduce maintenance costs, improve production efficiency, and provide strong support for the safe and stable development of various industries.

[0004] As the pace of global industrialization accelerates, the requirements for product quality and safety are becoming increasingly stringent, and the application scope of ultrasonic technology has also expanded to many key fields such as aerospace, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. In these fields, tiny defects inside the material are often directly related to the overall performance and service life of the product, and even its safety. Therefore, improving the accuracy of ultrasonic testing has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently, and the zero bias problem of ultrasonic probes has become one of the key factors affecting the detection accuracy.

[0005] Probe zero offset, that is, the slight deviation of the probe caused by installation, manufacturing or environmental factors during the detection process, can significantly affect the propagation path and received signal of the ultrasonic wave, thereby introducing detection errors. In the manufacturing and quality control of metal and non-metallic materials, as well as in the quality assessment of welding processes, accurate measurement and correction of probe zero offset is an important guarantee to ensure the accuracy of test results and prevent material waste and safety accidents. In addition, the influence of ultrasonic probe zero offset research goes far beyond the scope of non-destructive testing.
