Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and in particular to an ultrasonic harmonic imaging device and method for defect detection. Background Art
[0002] In the field of industrial non-destructive testing, the detection of tiny defects is crucial to ensure the integrity of materials and structures; especially in some demanding applications, such as aerospace, nuclear energy and high-end manufacturing, any tiny defects may cause serious consequences. Therefore, it is particularly important to accurately and reliably detect tiny defects in materials and tiny defects on the contact interface of workpieces with interference fit.
[0003] Ultrasonic imaging technology has been widely used in the process of defect detection, but traditional ultrasonic imaging technology has some obvious shortcomings and deficiencies when detecting tiny defects: First, there is sidelobe interference, and the sidelobe signal will mask the reflected signal of the real defect, resulting in a false negative result. Secondly, the problem of imaging artifacts. During ultrasonic imaging, the multipath propagation of reflected waves may cause false defects or signals in the imaging. These artifacts often mislead the detection results and reduce the reliability of the detection. In addition, traditional ultrasonic imaging technology usually exhibits the disadvantages of low contrast and low resolution. In the imaging of tiny defects, due to insufficient signal strength, the image contrast is often not enough to clearly distinguish between defects and background, resulting in the inability to accurately identify tiny defects. Moreover, due to resolution limitations, when the size of the defect is close to or smaller than the wavelength of the sound wave, the ultrasonic imaging system may not be able to distinguish these tiny defects at all.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an ultrasonic harmonic imaging device and method for defect detection, which can improve the accuracy of ultrasonic detection of tiny defects and the clarity of tiny defect imaging compared with the existing technology. Summary of the invention
