Description

Background Art

[0002] Nondestructive testing is also called non-destructive testing. Nondestructive testing is a comprehensive applied technology that measures and evaluates the physical and mechanical properties inside or on the surface of substances without damaging or destroying the objects to be inspected, such as raw materials and workpieces, and includes various defects and other technical parameters. It plays a key role in controlling and improving the production process and product quality, ensuring the reliability of materials, parts, and products, and increasing productivity. It is one of the essential important technical measures for the development of modern industry. Modern nondestructive testing and evaluation technologies not only need to detect the presence or absence of defects but also give a quantitative evaluation of the material quality, including the quantitative measurement of defects, such as the shape, size, position, orientation, distribution, and inclusions of defects, as well as the quality evaluation of defective materials and products, and also include the measurement of certain physical and mechanical properties of materials and products. It can be said that the development level of nondestructive testing and evaluation technologies marks the modern industrial level of a country (region).

[0003] Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a nondestructive testing method that uses the acoustic performance differences between materials and their defects to detect internal defects in materials based on the reflection of ultrasonic wave propagation waveforms and the energy change of the penetration time. The longitudinal wave is used in vertical testing by the pulse echo method, and the transverse wave is used in oblique flaw detection. The pulse echo method has longitudinal wave testing and transverse wave testing. On the oscilloscope screen of the ultrasonic instrument, the abscissa represents the propagation time of the sound wave, and the ordinate represents the amplitude of the echo signal. For the same homogeneous medium, the propagation time of the pulse wave is proportional to the sound path. Therefore, the presence of a defect is judged by the appearance of the defect echo signal, the distance from the defect to the detection surface is determined by the position where the echo signal appears to achieve defect location, and the equivalent size of the defect is judged by the echo amplitude.

[0004] Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) detection technology is based on the Huygens principle. The transducer consists of an array of multiple independent piezoelectric wafers, and each wafer is called a unit. Each unit is excited by an electronic system according to certain rules and time sequences, so that the ultrasonic waves emitted by each unit in the array are superimposed to form a new wavefront. Similarly, during the reception of the reflected wave, the reception of each receiving unit is controlled according to certain rules and time sequences and signal synthesis is carried out, and then the synthesis result is displayed in an appropriate form. By exciting each independent piezoelectric wafer (element) of the phased array probe according to the set delay rule (or focusing rule), the sound beam is synthesized and functions such as the movement, deflection, and focusing of the sound beam are realized. The ultrasonic detection technology that receives ultrasonic signals according to a certain delay rule and displays the internal state of the inspected object graphically can generate the same sound beam and angle as conventional ultrasonic, but the difference from conventional ultrasonic detection is that it can accurately control the angle and focus size of the sound beam electronically and can achieve various display methods such as A-display, B-display, C-display, D-display, and S-display.

[0005] Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) detection is a relatively new ultrasonic detection method. Under the action of a static bias magnetic field, an alternating current is passed through the coil, thereby generating eddy currents on the surface of the test piece. The bias magnetic field and the eddy currents act together, and the test piece will be subjected to the Lorentz force or magnetostrictive effect, thereby generating vibrations. EMAT directly generates vibrations in the test piece, and the detection object can only be a conductor component. EMAT has the following characteristics compared with piezoelectric ultrasonic: no coupling agent is required, various wave types can be generated flexibly, the detection range is large, and the sensitivity is high.

[0006] Austenitic stainless steel is widely used in important components of the special equipment industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and low-temperature toughness. It has been found in practice that austenitic stainless steel is very prone to hot cracks during welding and use, posing potential safety hazards. To ensure the safe operation of the equipment, non-destructive testing of austenitic stainless steel materials and welds must be carried out. Ultrasonic testing is a commonly used non-destructive testing method for austenitic stainless steel. However, due to the columnar grains in austenitic welds, the sound beam will be bent, affecting the positioning of ultrasonic testing defects; the coarse grains cause serious attenuation of sound waves, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of ultrasonic testing, affecting the quantification of defects and the defect detection rate; the sound velocity of the base material and the weld is quite different, and the non-uniformity of the weld sound velocity affects the positioning and qualitative analysis of ultrasonic testing defects. Therefore, the detection of austenitic stainless steel welds has always been one of the difficulties in non-destructive testing. With the rapid development of phased array ultrasonic technology in recent years, the phased array ultrasonic testing technology with the advantages of high detection reliability, good detection resolution, fast detection speed, and high detection efficiency has brought new ideas for the non-destructive testing of austenitic stainless steel welds.

[0007] Due to the characteristics of the anisotropic grain structure of austenitic stainless steel welds, longitudinal wave / low-frequency detection should be selected when applying conventional ultrasonic testing and phased array ultrasonic testing. In recent years, with the development of electromagnetic ultrasonic testing technology, electromagnetic ultrasound can flexibly generate various wave types, and the detection frequency is relatively low. Combining the characteristics of phased array ultrasonic testing with beam deflection and focusing, it is very necessary to invent an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection technology that is less affected by the anisotropic grain structure and can effectively detect the non-destructive testing method of austenitic stainless steel welds.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] As Figure 1 shown, a non-destructive testing method for austenitic stainless steel weld defects according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. Determine the target ultrasonic wave type used for non-destructive testing of austenitic stainless steel welds;

[0057] S2. Use an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection probe to emit an ultrasonic wave beam of the target wave type to pass through the austenitic stainless steel weld to be detected, and perform defect detection on the austenitic stainless steel weld to be detected.

[0058] Among them, the specific implementation process of defect detection: when using an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array probe for detection, the low-frequency SH wave generated by applying electromagnetic ultrasonic technology is used, and then the phased array detection technology is used to focus and deflect the SH wave to detect the austenitic stainless steel weld, and its detection effect is better than that of longitudinal wave (L wave) and phased array longitudinal wave.

[0059] A non-destructive testing method for austenitic stainless steel weld defects provided by the present invention solves the problem that the sound beam of conventional ultrasonic and phased array ultrasonic testing is difficult to transmit in the austenitic stainless steel weld material, overcomes the disadvantages of poor detection resolution and sensitivity in the prior art, and provides a basis for quantitative detection and evaluation of austenitic stainless steel weld defects.

[0060] Optionally, in the above technical solution, determining the target wave type used for non-destructive testing of austenitic stainless steel welds includes:

[0061] Obtain the distortion degrees of ultrasonic beams of different ultrasonic types after passing through austenitic stainless steel welds, and determine the ultrasonic type with the minimum distortion degree as the target ultrasonic type.

[0062] As Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 it is defined that the deformation degree of waves corresponding to different waves (such as L waves, SV waves, SH waves, etc.) at different refraction angles after passing through a stainless steel weld is the distortion angle.

[0063] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the target ultrasonic type is the SH wave.

[0064] Compared with ferritic steel welds, the weld microstructure of austenitic stainless steel is quite different. During the solidification of austenitic stainless steel welds, no phase transformation occurs, and they exist as as-cast columnar austenite grains at room temperature. The general characteristics of this weld microstructure are: large grains; columnar grains and anisotropy; obvious heterogeneous interfaces with the base metal, especially significant microstructure changes at the fusion surface; the weld microstructure is greatly affected by welding processes and specifications.

[0065] Due to the changes in weld grains in austenitic stainless steel welds, various problems occur. For ultrasonic waves propagating in anisotropic media, the transmission direction of ultrasonic energy is not perpendicular to the wavefront, which will cause the ultrasonic beam to be distorted. For example, the propagation situations of probes with a refraction angle of 60 ° passing through austenitic stainless steel welds with longitudinal waves (L waves), vertically polarized shear waves (SV waves), and horizontally polarized shear waves (SH waves) respectively are as Figures 2 to 5 shown. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results prove that the maximum distortion angle of longitudinal waves is about 15 ° ~20 ° , the maximum distortion angle of SV waves can reach 50 ° , and the maximum distortion angle of SH waves does not exceed 5 ° or less. When detecting defects in austenitic stainless steel welds, the sound beam changes with the angle with the columnar grains, and the change degrees of sound beams of different wave types are quite different, which may lead to changes in positioning and angles. Since the influence of SV waves, longitudinal waves, and SH waves on the anisotropic grain structure weakens in turn, it can be concluded that using SH horizontally polarized shear waves is the best choice for detecting defects in austenitic stainless steel welds.

[0066] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection probe: has multiple SH wave channels, and has the functions of one-transmit-one-receive phased array deflection focusing and low frequency.

[0067] Among them, 1 channel emits or receives 1 beam of wave, and it can also be 1 channel, 2 channels, 3 channels, etc. The more channels, the higher the scanning efficiency, which can be set according to the actual situation.

[0068] Among them, one transmitting and one receiving means that the signal transmitted by the probe enters the material (such as a stainless steel weld), is reflected after encountering a defect, and then is received by the probe and returned to the instrument, and is displayed on the instrument screen.

[0069] Since the maximum distortion angle of the horizontally polarized shear wave (SH wave) is small, the sound beam is relatively concentrated and the frequency of the generated SH wave is small. Therefore, it will be a more optimized detection method to use the generated SH wave combined with the characteristics of beam scanning, deflection and focusing of phased array detection to detect the defects of austenitic stainless steel welds, that is, designing an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection probe to detect the defects of austenitic stainless steel welds is superior to other detection methods (such as longitudinal waves, SV waves, etc.). In addition, due to the characteristics of the one transmitting and one receiving (T / R) probe detection: there is no "blind zone" for near-surface detection; the interference echoes caused by internal reflections in the wedge are eliminated; better detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio can be obtained from the convolution of the beams of the T and R probes.

[0070] Therefore, the present invention provides an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection probe with multi-channel SH horizontally polarized waves, with one transmitting and one receiving phased array deflection focusing and low frequency (frequency 600 kHz) functions to detect the defects of austenitic stainless steel welds, such as Figures 6 to 11 shown.

[0071] Among them, the structure of the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array probe consists of a coil, a magnet and the workpiece to be detected. Working principle: the process of generating SH waves through electromagnetic ultrasound and using phased array technology for focusing and deflection for detection. Figure 4 It shows that the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array has good detection effect in stainless steel weld detection, Figure 5 compares the propagation effects of L waves, SV waves and SH waves in stainless steel welds, Figure 6 is the schematic diagram of generating SH, Figure 7 is the schematic diagram of phased array detection.

[0072] Optionally, in the above technical solution, it further includes the detection calibration test block and artificial defect design. Specifically:

[0073] In order to verify that the designed electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection of austenitic stainless steel weld defects can detect accurately, quickly and conveniently, grooves are made on the upper surface (groove depth is 10% of the wall thickness), middle transverse through holes (hole diameter is 2 mm) and lower surface grooves (groove depth is 5% of the wall thickness) on the austenitic stainless steel welds of the same specification, as Figure 3 shown. The upper surface groove is used to simulate the upper surface defects of the weld, the middle transverse through hole is used to simulate the internal defects of the weld, and the lower surface groove is used to simulate the lower surface defects of the weld.

[0074] Optionally, in the above technical solution, it further includes the comparative analysis of the detection results. Specifically:

[0075] Since the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing technology for austenitic stainless steel welds has the characteristics of electromagnetic ultrasonic testing: non-contact testing; suitable for high-temperature testing; fast testing speed; high testing sensitivity, and also has the characteristics of phased array ultrasonic longitudinal wave testing: the acoustic beam angle is precisely controllable and highly flexible; acoustic beam focusing can be achieved, and better testing sensitivity, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio can be obtained; the testing results are displayed in the form of images, intuitive and recordable, with good repeatability; high testing efficiency and no radiation harm to the human body.

[0076] Artificial defects detected by the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing probe in the present invention, such as Figure 12 shown, and the obtained testing and scanning results are as Figures 13 to 15 shown. Similarly, phased array ultrasonic longitudinal wave probes were designed to detect typical defects such as surface cracks, lack of fusion at the groove, lack of fusion at the root, and internal dense pores in austenitic stainless steel welds, and the obtained testing and scanning results are as Figures 16 to 19 shown.

[0077] From the comparison between the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing results and the phased array ultrasonic longitudinal wave testing results of austenitic stainless steel welds, it can be concluded that the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing of austenitic stainless steel weld defects has better testing sensitivity, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio; acoustic beam deflection and focusing can be achieved; the testing results are displayed in the form of images, intuitive and recordable; non-contact, high-temperature and high-speed testing can also be carried out, and the application prospect is broader.

[0078] A non-destructive testing method for austenitic stainless steel weld defects in the present invention is specifically a non-destructive testing method for electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing (EMAT / PAUT) of austenitic stainless steel weld defects. The feasibility of the non-destructive testing method for electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing of austenitic stainless steel weld defects is verified from aspects such as transmission acoustic beam simulation optimization and selection, electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing probe design, testing calibration block and artificial defect design, and testing result comparative analysis. Specifically:

[0079] 1) Transmission acoustic beam simulation optimization and selection. Through the simulation optimization of the transmission acoustic beams of longitudinal waves, SV vertically polarized shear waves and SH horizontally polarized shear waves, the SH horizontally polarized shear wave with the smallest maximum distortion angle of the transmission acoustic beam is selected for testing.

[0080] 2) An electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array testing probe is designed. This probe uses SH horizontally polarized shear waves, has a concentrated acoustic beam, a low testing frequency (frequency 600 kHz), and can deflect and focus, etc.

[0081] 3) Design of testing calibration blocks and artificial defects. Grooves and transverse through-holes are made on the upper surface, middle position and lower surface of austenitic stainless steel welds, mainly used to simulate upper surface defects, internal defects and lower surface defects of austenitic stainless steel welds.

[0082] 4) Comparative analysis of detection results. By comparing the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection results with the phased array ultrasonic longitudinal wave detection results, it can be concluded that the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array detection method for austenitic stainless steel weld defects has better detection effects than other detection methods (such as phased array ultrasonic longitudinal wave detection, etc.).
