Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of non-destructive testing, and particularly relates to a method for determining defects by translating a comparison reference object for secondary radiography. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of non-destructive testing technology, radiography technology has been widely used in industries such as weapons, aerospace, aviation, and ships. The rays are mainly used to detect whether there are defects inside the workpiece. After detecting defects in the workpiece through rays, it is necessary to further determine the position of the defects inside the workpiece, and finally use the negative film to evaluate the defects, complete the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the defects, ensure the accurate judgment of the defects inside the workpiece, determine what kind of quality hazards the defects cause to the workpiece, facilitate the elimination of defect generation from the processes such as design and processing, and ensure the product quality. To sum up, it is necessary to determine not only the nature and size of the defects, but also the position of the defects in the workpiece. However, for radiography technology, since the negative film directly gives the position of the defects on the radiographic plane and cannot determine the specific position of the defects in the workpiece, it is still necessary to further determine the position of the defects in the workpiece. Currently, the ray photo detection technology cannot determine the position of the defects in the workpiece.
