Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and in particular relates to a phased array ultrasonic shaft component defect detection method based on grid adaptive optimization. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (UDE) has become increasingly popular as a standardized tool for defect detection in high-reliability components. Currently, UDE for large components with complex surface geometries still primarily relies on water immersion testing. However, with the growing demand for improved component lifespan and reliability in many industries, such as power generation and aviation, damage tolerance design and assessment are becoming increasingly important. Consequently, detection of smaller defects, as well as improved spatial resolution and quantification accuracy, are required. The emergence of new manufacturing methods, such as additive manufacturing, can produce materials with microstructures that differ from traditional materials to meet the evolving demands of the manufacturing industry. Due to manufacturing process limitations, components may contain microstructures such as non-uniform large grains, pores, and microcracks that negatively impact component service life. The presence of these microstructures results in a lower signal-to-noise ratio for ultrasonic signals compared to traditional materials. Furthermore, due to the complex surface geometries of components, existing methods have limitations in detecting and quantifying submillimeter defects. Optimizing data processing and analysis methods is necessary to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and detect smaller defects despite the noise scattering caused by the material's microstructural characteristics. Furthermore, improved spatial resolution is required to accurately identify closely spaced defects, enabling more precise design assessments.
[0003] There are two main approaches to improving spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. The first involves acquiring inspection data using a large probe and incorporating the full focusing method for data post-processing. This method combines the transmit and receive modes of the array elements to generate a complete time-domain signal dataset. The process involves initially transmitting from one element while all elements receive simultaneously. Then, through electronic movement, ultrasound waves are transmitted from each element in the entire array until all elements have completed a transmission. The full focusing method is a data processing technique used to analyze data acquired from a large array probe. An ultrasound image is constructed by calculating the time it takes for ultrasound waves to reach each focal point within the inspection area from each transmitting element. The value at each focal point corresponds to the signal feedback at that location. In this method, the focusing range and signal-to-noise ratio are directly dependent on the probe size; therefore, a large probe with a large number of array elements is required to acquire data. For components with curved surfaces, a custom-designed probe is required to effectively utilize all array elements under contact inspection conditions. However, this method has limitations when testing components with varying curvatures, such as blades. The second method is based on synthetic aperture focusing technology (SAFT), using an ordinary small-sized phased array probe to obtain echo signals from different scanning angles and positions by moving along the detection path. The basic idea is to process the signals collected at different positions as equivalent to the signals collected by a large-aperture probe, thereby effectively improving the spatial resolution of ultrasonic imaging. By delaying and coherently superimposing the data collected at different positions, the effect of focusing the virtual large-aperture probe at various locations in the detection area is achieved. The signal at the defect position shows a high phase correlation, resulting in phase superposition. In contrast, there is a zero-mean random Gaussian noise component at other positions of the component, and the signal generated by this random scattering and noise can be averaged and reduced. This method can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the lateral resolution of imaging.
[0004] Existing methods process only raw data acquired when the surface of the component being inspected is planar, and then use a Cartesian matrix grid for imaging. The resolution of the matrix grid is determined based on inspection parameters such as the velocity of sound and the step size of the sampling frequency encoder to achieve the optimal signal-to-noise ratio. For curved surfaces, as the probe moves along the surface, its central axis continuously shifts, resulting in an uneven distribution of sampled data points. This uneven distribution of sampled data points leads to variations in the number of sampling points within each matrix grid cell, resulting in varying resolution in the reconstructed image. For example, during ultrasonic inspection of curved components, a phased array probe moves along the surface of a cylinder, acquiring data at a fixed step size. At each location, a dataset consisting of multi-angle A-scan data is acquired. Due to the incident angle and inspection path, the sampling points are unevenly distributed within the inspection cross-section. In this case, the actual distribution of sampling points does not match the Cartesian matrix grid, resulting in over- or under-sampling of certain matrix grid cells, ultimately affecting the ultrasonic imaging. These limitations can reduce resolution and signal-to-noise ratio when directly applying existing synthetic aperture methods for imaging. Because defect identification and quantification rely on ultrasonic imaging data, the limited applicability of existing methods can lead to deficiencies in the final assessment. To address this issue, a new ultrasonic phased array imaging algorithm for curved components is needed. This algorithm can be used for ultrasonic inspection of parts with varying curvatures in industrial manufacturing. The goal is to improve the accuracy of defect quantitative detection and the spatial resolution of imaging.
[0005] This invention provides a phased array ultrasonic synthetic aperture imaging method for quantifying defects within shaft components, relating to the field of nondestructive testing. The method includes: constructing a mapping statistical matrix, adaptively optimizing the matrix grid size, employing a synthetic aperture algorithm, and quantifying defect sizes. The mapping statistical matrix is constructed by calculating the number of sampling points in each matrix grid cell using a mapping algorithm. The mapping algorithm calculates the position of each sampling point and places it into the corresponding matrix grid cell. A matrix grid cell represents a geometric cross-sectional model of the object being inspected. The matrix grid size is adaptively optimized using the mapping statistical matrix based on the minimum coefficient of variation. The phase information of the sampling points is coherently superimposed using a synthetic aperture algorithm to obtain ultrasonic imaging data. Defect size is quantified using the distance-size-gain (DGS) method. Based on ultrasonic phased array synthetic aperture focusing technology and a matrix grid size optimization method, the method effectively identifies and quantifies defects. Optimizing the matrix grid size using a mapping statistical matrix based on the number of sampling points improves defect quantification accuracy, providing a more accurate and reliable basis for defect size assessment in shaft components.
