Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a composite plate thickness model, in particular to a model for measuring the thickness of a composite plate made of different materials based on calibrated ultrasound, and belongs to the technical field of metal material thickness measurement. Background Art

[0002] With the development of industrial refinement, more and more industries have begun to use layered metal composite materials. Layered metal composite materials are generally composed of substrates and covering materials. Usually, the substrate acts as the bones and exerts the role of structural force, while the covering material acts as the skin, which is in direct contact with the medium and plays a role in corrosion resistance. For the connection of special dissimilar metals, layered metal composite materials can also act as bridges and ties, so that dissimilar metals that are difficult to weld can be conveniently welded metallurgically through dissimilar metal transition joints. The preparation of layered metal composite materials usually includes: rolling composite, explosive composite, friction composite, diffusion composite and other methods. The thickness of the base coating of layered metal composite materials is a key parameter, which has a great influence on the corrosion resistance, service life and carrying current of layered metal composite materials. How to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of the base coating of bimetallic composite plates is a difficult problem in actual production.

[0003] Commonly used thickness measurement methods for bimetallic composite plates include vernier caliper thickness measurement, magnetic thickness measurement, metallographic thickness measurement and ultrasonic thickness measurement. When using a vernier caliper to measure the thickness of the base coating layer of the cross-section of the composite plate sample, it is necessary to visually distinguish the base coating boundary line. This measurement is highly subjective and the measured value is relatively rough. The magnetic method thickness measurement uses the principle of magnetic induction to measure the thickness of the non-magnetic coating on the magnetic substrate. It is suitable for measuring titanium-steel and copper-steel composite plates with ferromagnetic substrates and non-magnetic coatings. It cannot measure non-magnetic copper-aluminum composite plates. The metallographic method thickness measurement has the characteristics of strong versatility and high measurement accuracy, but the measurement process is cumbersome and the real-time performance is poor. It is necessary to cut, sample, grind, and polish the test composite plate, and it is difficult to perform non-destructive testing on the target composite plate. The ultrasonic method thickness measurement is based on the difference in acoustic impedance of the two materials, which causes the ultrasonic wave to reflect at the composite interface. The instrument measures the base coating thickness by capturing the interface reflection wave. It has the advantages of convenient operation and good real-time performance. However, for the two metal interfaces with smaller acoustic impedance, the reflection wave is small, and it is difficult to accurately capture and measure. For example, in the measurement of stainless steel-steel composite plates, it is difficult to effectively calculate the thickness of each layer of the composite plate.

[0004] Therefore, the existing market urgently needs to provide a convenient and practical thickness measurement method. Summary of the invention

[0013] As a preferred solution, the thickness-test time model is established as follows:

[0014] Step S3-1, establishing a correlation equation between the thickness of the covering material, the thickness of the substrate and the actual thickness of the composite board;

[0015] Step S3-2, according to the propagation speed of ultrasound in different materials of the composite board, establish a correlation equation between the propagation time of ultrasound in the covering material, the propagation time in the substrate, and the propagation time in the total thickness of the composite board test;

[0016] Step S3-3, combine the correlation equations obtained in step S3-1 and step S3-2 to obtain.
