TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing of metal forgings, and particularly relates to a nondestructive testing method and system based on ultrasonic wave modulation eddy current effect. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the processing of metal forgings, due to material or process factors, various defects are prone to occur, such as cracks caused by improper temperature, severe deformation and rapid cooling during forging, internal cavities formed by incomplete closure of shrinkage holes, pores or porosity in the raw material after forging, inclusions formed by the strip-shaped or sheet-shaped distribution of impurities such as oxides and sulfides mixed during smelting in the matrix during forging, and the like. These defects destroy the continuity of the metal matrix, reduce the strength, toughness and fatigue life of the forgings, and therefore often need to be evaluated by defect detection.
[0003] In the traditional process, eddy current detection or ultrasonic detection is often used for defect detection. However, firstly, the skin effect leads to a high missed detection rate for deep defects (> 3mm), such as subsurface inclusions in titanium alloy forgings; secondly, local conductivity variations cause false positives, and actual tests show that the false positive rate in the uneven heat treatment area is more than 30%; thirdly, it is difficult to distinguish the defect type, for example, the similarity of the signals of cracks and hard inclusions is high and difficult to distinguish. Although ultrasonic testing (UT) has depth resolution capability, it has insufficient sensitivity to closed defects (such as fatigue cracks), it is difficult to quantify defect size, and coupling agents (water, oil, gel) need to be used to ensure effective transmission of acoustic energy during detection, and the detection process is complicated.

[0049] Embodiment one
[0050] With reference to Figure 1 The first aspect of the present application provides a non-destructive testing method based on ultrasonic wave modulation eddy current effect, comprising the following steps.
[0051] S100, dual-mode cooperative excitation and collection, ultrasonic excitation sound waves are emitted during eddy current detection of the target forging, and ultrasonic echo signals and eddy current impedance signals are collected in the dual time windows before and after the ultrasonic wave emission;
[0052] With reference to Figure 2 In step S100, the following steps are included:
[0053] S110, eddy current detection of the target forging, focused ultrasonic pulses are emitted into the forging during the detection process to excite micro-mechanical effects in the defect area;
[0054] First, an ultrasonic wave-eddy current composite integrated detection module is constructed, the composite probe sensor is driven by a high-precision mechanical scanning platform to move along the surface of the forging according to a predetermined path, the relative spatial coordinates and scanning time stamps at each scanning point spatial coordinates are recorded, the ultrasonic wave emission unit is controlled by the synchronous control unit to emit high-frequency pulses into the forging, the sound wave vibration causes micro-friction heating at the defect, at this time the electromagnetic signal will abnormally fluctuate, so that the eddy current detection can detect deeper defects. The pulse frequency is controlled in the range of 5-10MHz, and the pulse energy is accurately adjusted in the range of 50-200mJ, so as to ensure that the defect area generates effective micro-mechanical effects without causing material damage.
[0055] S120, collecting ultrasonic echo signals, extracting echo peak amplitude and flight time;
[0056] During the scanning process, the synchronous trigger synchronous control unit performs signal acquisition, and records the ultrasonic scanning waveform and the scanning time through the ultrasonic receiving channel, and extracts the echo peak amplitude parameter and the ultrasonic time-of-flight parameter .
[0057] S130, in the first time period before the ultrasonic wave is emitted, the eddy current impedance signal is collected to obtain a static reference value, and in the time window of the second time period after the emission, the eddy current impedance signal is collected to obtain a dynamic response value.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first time period is 100 microseconds, the second time period is 500 microseconds, and the eddy current detection channel continuously collects complex impedance signals in the time window of 100 microseconds before the ultrasonic pulse is emitted to 500 microseconds after the emission at a sampling rate of not less than 10MS / s, thereby obtaining the electromagnetic signal before the sound wave impact and the electromagnetic signal after the impact, and determining the static reference value and the dynamic response value .
[0059] S200, dynamic response feature vector extraction, based on the eddy current impedance signal, calculating the dynamic response difference value, and then extracting the dynamic response feature vector related to the four-dimensional topological field construction; wherein the dynamic response feature vector at least includes the dynamic response modulus, the phase angle, the response main frequency and the decay time constant;
[0060] First, according to the static reference value and the dynamic response value, the dynamic response difference vector components ΔR and ΔX are calculated, wherein:
[0061]
[0062] Then the dynamic response modulus is derived by Euclidean norm operation:
[0063]
[0064] According to the phase angle θ of ΔR and ΔX:
[0065]
[0066] The time-domain decay curve of the dynamic response modulus ‖ΔZ‖ is nonlinear least squares fitting, which adopts an exponential decay model to determine the decay time constant τ:
[0067]
[0068] Where A is the amplitude coefficient, then the fast Fourier transform is performed to analyze the dynamic response spectrum, and the dominant frequency component is extracted, this process converts the physical response into a vector containing four feature dimensions [‖ΔZ‖, θ, τ, wherein the eigenvalue range of phase angle θ is mapped to the type of defect.
[0069] S300, four-dimensional topological field construction, determining the depth coordinate according to the ultrasonic echo signal, combining the spatial coordinates of the scanning points with the depth coordinates, associating the dynamic response feature vector to form a four-dimensional feature data point cloud, and determining the defect boundary according to the dynamic response feature vector and the defect sensitivity scalar field model;
[0070] Referring to Figure 3 , specifically, step 300 includes:
[0071] S310, determining the depth coordinate according to the ultrasonic echo signal, and determining the three-dimensional physical model in combination with the spatial coordinates of the scanning points;
[0072] Combining the two-dimensional plane coordinates (x, y) of the scanning points with the depth coordinate z, wherein the depth coordinate is obtained by converting the ultrasonic time of flight, and the conversion relationship is , C represents the ultrasonic propagation speed in the material.
[0073] S320, fusing the dynamic response modulus, phase angle, response main frequency and decay time constant with the three-dimensional physical model to form a four-dimensional feature data point cloud;
[0074] According to the time stamp of data acquisition, the obtained three-dimensional physical coordinates of each scanning point are fitted with the four-dimensional feature vector, and each scanning point generates a data record: {x, y, z, ‖ΔZ‖, θ, τ, }, for example, when a point is detected:
[0075] Coordinate positioning: (x, y) = (35.2, 48.7) mm
[0076] Ultrasonic depth measurement:
[0077] Eddy current feature extraction: ΔR = 0.15Ω, ΔX = 0.12Ω
[0078] Feature vector extraction: ‖ΔZ‖ = 0.192Ω, θ = 0.78 rad, τ = 0.8 ms, = 85 kHz
[0079] Generating data points: DP k ={35.2, 48.7, 8.28, 0.192, 0.78, 0.8, 85}
[0080] When scanning a 100×100 grid, 10000 data points are generated, thereby forming a four-dimensional feature data point cloud.
[0081] S330, by Delaunay triangulation algorithm, with each feature vector as the vertex coordinates, the tetrahedral unit connection structure between the adjacent vertices in space is established, and the unstructured grid is generated;
[0082] In the four-dimensional feature subspace [‖ΔZ‖, θ, τ, ]Delaunay triangulation algorithm is executed, each feature vector is taken as vertex coordinates, the nearest feature points are automatically found and connected into tetrahedral grid, that is, an adaptive defect correlation network is constructed, and the connection rule follows the principle of "minimum containing sphere": the circumscribed sphere of any tetrahedron does not contain other feature points. Through the subdivision algorithm, the originally discrete weak signal points are integrated and connected, so that the defects that are easy to be ignored as noise are detected, and the isolated noise points that cannot form effective tetrahedrons with other points are automatically removed. At the same time, the tetrahedral units on the edge of the defect can present high gradient characteristics (such as θ value from 0.78 to 0.1), so as to accurately outline the crack tip, and the image is more accurate.
[0083] S340, the dynamic response feature vector is substituted into the defect sensitivity scalar field model to determine the defect sensitivity, and the defect sensitivity scalar field model is:
[0084]
[0085] Where S is the defect sensitivity, ‖ΔZ‖ is the dynamic response modulus, θ is the phase angle, τ is the decay time constant, is the preset crack feature phase angle;
[0086] The four-dimensional feature is compressed into a single-valued metric that can be fissile by the defect sensitivity scalar field model. ‖ΔZ‖ represents the defect vibration intensity, and the larger the value is, the more significant the crack is. e⁻τ represents that the faster τ decays, the larger the value is, so it is used to represent the capture crack fast closing feature, such as open crack: τ≈0.8ms, e⁻τ≈0.45; inclusion τ≈5ms, e⁻τ≈0.006; is the crack reference phase angle, represents the phase deviation degree, so the numerator strengthens the crack transient response, and the denominator suppresses the non-target signal.
[0087] S350, the isosurface of S=0.35 is extracted to determine the defect boundary.
[0088] According to the following Table 1, the feature vector of a certain defect is shown in the following table 1:
[0089] Table 1: Feature vector example table
[0090]
[0091] By detecting a plurality of crack data, S≥0.35 is a significant feature of the crack, so 12 edges of each tetrahedron are detected, if the two endpoints of an edge satisfy: , the intersection coordinates are calculated by linear interpolation method, and then the intersection points are connected as triangular facets, 0-4 triangular facets are generated for each tetrahedron, and finally the continuous curved surface in the three-dimensional space is spliced to determine the defect boundary.
[0092] In some embodiments, step S350 further comprises:
[0093] S351: The morphological filtering of the defect boundary adopts an anisotropic diffusion algorithm model to remove outlier noise points.
[0094] In the traditional algorithm, algorithms such as Gaussian blur will blur the defect edge, resulting in the crack tip being smoothed, so the diffusion equation is used for feature gradient detection in the embodiments of the application:
[0095]
[0096] Then the diffusion judgment coefficient is calculated:
[0097]
[0098] Where, when |∇S| is small, g≈1, representing the edge is a smooth area, then strong diffusion is performed to smooth the noise; when |∇S| is large, g≈0, representing the edge is an edge area, then the diffusion is inhibited to retain the sharp edge.
[0099] S is the main basis for judging the crack, and in other embodiments, the judgment of bubbles and inclusions is also included, so a inclusion sensitivity field G is constructed:
[0100]
[0101] Where, is a preset inclusion phase reference, such as ceramic inclusion =1.2 radian.
[0102] When judging bubbles, since the bubble edge is smooth, the value of is much smaller than that of other defects or even close to 0 radian, and the dominant frequency component is low, so when the defect point cloud satisfies: , and , the defect type can be determined as a pore; and when G>0.2, the defect can be determined as an inclusion.
[0103] S400, defect quantification diagnosis, the defect size is determined according to the defect boundary point cloud and the sound wave echo signal, wherein step 400 comprises:
[0104] S410, in the defect boundary point cloud, the defect length is calculated by projecting along the maximum principal inertia axis, the short axis of the ellipse fitted on the cross section in the vertical length direction is taken as the defect width, and the defect depth is determined based on the range of depth coordinates;
[0105] Specifically, when calculating the defect length by projecting along the maximum principal inertia axis:
[0106] S411, principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the defect boundary point cloud, and the eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue is selected as the length direction;
[0107] First, input each defect boundary point cloud data:
[0108]
[0109] Then, centering processing is performed:
[0110]
[0111] The eigenvalues are solved by the characteristic equation:
[0112]
[0113] Among them:
[0114]
[0115] Thus, each eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue ..., wherein the eigenvector V corresponding to the maximum λ points to the most dispersed direction of the point cloud, which is taken as the length direction.
[0116] S412, project the point cloud to the direction, and take the projection extreme difference as the defect length.
[0117] Project all points to the principal axis V:
[0118]
[0119] Thus, the projection coordinate set is determined, and then the range calculation is performed:
[0120]
[0121] Thus, the defect length is determined.
[0122] Then, the short axis of the ellipse fitted on the cross section in the vertical length direction is taken as the defect width, first, the cutting plane is constructed, and the points within ±δ from the plane (δ≈0.1mm) are selected, and then the ellipse fitting is performed:
[0123]
[0124] wherein (x', y') is the local coordinate of the cutting plane, phi is the inclination angle of the ellipse, a and b are the major and minor axes, and the minor axis of the ellipse is obtained as the defect width.
[0125] Finally, the defect depth is determined based on the range of the depth coordinate:
[0126]
[0127] S420, evaluating the defect activity level through a risk coefficient model:
[0128]
[0129] wherein lambda is the defect activity level, is the dynamic response modulus, is the response main frequency, is the echo peak amplitude of the ultrasonic wave, and theta is the phase angle, is the preset crack characteristic phase angle.
[0130] When the activity index lambda is greater than 0.5, it is determined as a high-risk defect, 0.1 < lambda <= 0.5 is a medium-risk defect, and lambda <= 0.1 is an acceptable defect.
[0131] Through size determination and risk coefficient determination, multi-dimensional defect determination is realized, further improving the accuracy of the judgment.
[0132] By emitting focused ultrasonic waves to excite micro-vibration in the defect area, the dynamic changes of the eddy current signal are synchronously collected, and then the response intensity, phase angle, decay time and main frequency four-dimensional features are extracted, and a defect topology network is constructed in the feature space. Then, based on the sensitivity threshold, the real defect boundary is identified, and the three-dimensional size and activity index are calculated, thereby realizing the breakthrough of eddy current detection depth. At the same time, through the four-dimensional topology field, false signals are automatically filtered, reducing the false positive rate of defects, and synchronously outputting the three-dimensional size of defect length / width / depth and risk level. Through the fusion detection of the excitation state of ultrasonic waves and eddy current, the high-depth effect of ultrasonic detection is realized on the basis of the advantages of eddy current detection.
