Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a system, method, and equipment for classifying and quantifying the depth of full-wall-thickness cracks using rotating electromagnetic fields, belonging to the field of nondestructive testing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Rotating electromagnetic field testing technology, as an innovative electromagnetic non-destructive testing technology, inherits the advantages of non-contact testing and high precision in defect quantification, while overcoming the directional sensitivity limitations of conventional electromagnetic testing technologies. It can achieve high-precision detection of cracks in any direction. However, existing technologies still have many limitations:

[0003] 1. Inherent defects of traditional rotating electromagnetic field technology

[0004] Traditional rotating electromagnetic field detection technology uses single-frequency excitation, which can only detect surface cracks and cannot distinguish between surface and non-surface crack types. Single-frequency signal quantization of crack depth has a large error, making it difficult to meet the requirements for accurate crack assessment across the entire wall thickness. For ferromagnetic materials, due to their inherent ferromagnetic properties, crack detection involves complex magnetic fields composed of leakage and perturbation fields, posing challenges to crack quantification using rotating electromagnetic field detection technology.

[0005] 2. Limitations of existing technology

[0006] The existing patent application, CN115586245A, proposes a method for quantifying cracks in ferromagnetic materials based on pulsed rotating electromagnetic fields. It uses an FPGA platform to implement pulse excitation and signal processing, which can distinguish between surface and buried cracks and quantify their size. However, this method depends on a specific hardware platform and is designed for ferromagnetic materials. Its applicability to non-ferromagnetic materials is not explicitly mentioned.

[0007] The existing patent application publication number is CN117665092A, which proposes a method for reconstructing the surface contour of bifurcated cracks in metal parts. The method reconstructs the contour of bifurcated cracks by orthogonal scanning and gradient fusion. However, this method only targets the contour reconstruction of surface cracks and does not involve the quantification of crack depth and the differentiation of crack types within the entire wall thickness.

[0008] Existing technologies have significant shortcomings in the field of full-thickness crack detection: there is a lack of a universal method that can be applied to both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials and can accurately quantify the crack type and depth across the entire wall thickness range in a single scan. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rotating electromagnetic field system, method, and device for classifying and quantifying the depth of full-thickness cracks. It introduces multi-frequency signals into a rotating electromagnetic field, fuses the response magnetic field signals in the X and Y directions, derives the separation characteristics of the magnetic field responses of surface and non-surface cracks, and comprehensively analyzes the distortion rates of multiple frequencies, thereby achieving the classification and quantification of full-thickness cracks.

[0013] Vector fusion is performed on X and Y direction magnetic field intensity data of the same frequency to obtain fused magnetic field data, and the distortion rate of magnetic field signals of different frequencies is calculated based on the fused magnetic field data;

[0014] A first-order polynomial fitting was performed with frequency as the independent variable and distortion rate as the dependent variable. The positive and negative values ​​of the fitting coefficients were used to distinguish between surface cracks and non-surface cracks.

[0015] For surface cracks, the combined distortion rate is calculated using the highest and second-highest frequency distortion rates. For non-surface cracks, the combined distortion rate is calculated using the lowest and second-lowest frequency distortion rates. The combined distortion rate is then substituted into the pre-calibrated crack depth calculation formula to obtain the crack depth.

[0023] .

[0024] The expression for the first-order polynomial fitting is:

[0027] Obtain the coefficient 'a' of the first-order polynomial. If 'a' is positive, it is determined to be a surface crack; if 'a' is negative, it is determined to be a non-surface crack.

[0028] Preferably, the overall distortion rate is calculated as follows:

[0031] The overall distortion rate Q f Substitute the values ​​into the pre-calibrated surface crack depth calculation formula to calculate the surface crack depth;

[0032] If the crack is not a surface crack, then the distortion rate Q with the lowest frequency is taken. f1 And the second lowest distortion rate Q f2 Calculate the overall distortion rate Q f ,

[0033] ;

[0034] The overall distortion rate Q f Substitute the values ​​into the pre-calibrated formula for calculating the depth of non-surface cracks to obtain the depth of the non-surface cracks.

[0036] Preferably, the excitation module of the rotating electromagnetic field probe includes three sets of coils, each set of coils being 120° apart, and the magnetic field acquisition module is located at the center of the three sets of coils.

[0059] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a method for classifying and quantifying the depth of full-thickness cracks using a rotating electromagnetic field, including the following steps:

[0062] S1: Select the excitation signal frequency based on the characteristics of the structure under test;

[0063] Based on the material, thickness, conductivity, and other characteristics of the structure under test, select N excitation signals of different frequencies (N is an integer greater than 2 and less than 10). The frequency selection must meet the following requirements:

[0064] The skin depth of the minimum frequency f1 is not less than the thickness of the structure being measured, ensuring that the signal can penetrate to the full wall thickness of the structure.

[0065] Maximum frequency f N The skin depth is less than 1mm, ensuring the sensitivity for detecting minute surface cracks;

[0066] The intermediate frequency is an integer multiple of the minimum frequency f1, which facilitates the synthesis and decomposition of multi-frequency signals.

[0067] For example, the thickness of the structure being tested is 6 mm, the material is aluminum alloy, its relative permeability is 1, and its electrical conductivity is 3 × 10⁻⁶. 7 S / m, according to the skin effect formula:

[0068] ;

[0069] μ Permeability, σ For electrical conductivity, ω The frequency corresponding to a 6mm skin depth is 234.8Hz. In order to ensure that the lowest frequency can fully cover the entire wall thickness, the lowest frequency is selected as 200Hz.

[0070] A skin depth of 0.5mm corresponds to a frequency of 8.44kHz, therefore the highest frequency is chosen to be 10kHz.

[0071] Other frequencies are integer multiples of the lowest frequency. N is chosen as 5, and the 5 frequencies are f1=200Hz, f2=600Hz, f3=1Hz, f4=5kHz, and f5=10kHz respectively.

[0072] S2: Forms three multi-frequency signals and loads them onto the rotating electromagnetic field probe;

[0073] The selected frequencies are combined into three multi-frequency signals. Each multi-frequency signal has equal frequency components and amplitude, and a phase difference of 120°. These three multi-frequency signals are then applied to the rotating electromagnetic field probe. Figure 2 As shown, the excitation module of the rotating electromagnetic field consists of three sets of coils: the first excitation coil 1, the second excitation coil 2, and the third excitation coil 3. The positions of each set of coils are 120° apart, and the magnetic field acquisition module 4 is located at the center of the three sets of coils.

[0074] S3: Complete the surface scan of the structure under test and acquire N Bx values ​​at different frequencies. fi and By fi matrix;

[0075] A scanning device holds a rotating electromagnetic field probe to complete a surface scan of the structure under test, acquiring five Bx values ​​at different frequencies. fi and By fi matrix.

[0076] S4: For Bx of the same frequency fi and By fi The matrices are fused to obtain N fused magnetic field matrices B with different frequencies. fi ;

[0077] For the same frequency Bx fi and By fi The matrices are merged according to the following formula.

[0078] ;

[0079] Five fused magnetic field matrices B with different frequencies were obtained. f1 B f2 B f3 B f4 B f5 ,like Figures 3-7 As shown.

[0080] S5: Calculate the distortion rate of the fused magnetic field matrix at different frequencies. Q fi ;

[0081] get B fi The largest distortion variable in the matrix where the crack is located Bmax fi and the base value without crack locations B0 fi The distortion rate at different frequencies was calculated. Q fi ,

[0082] ;

[0083] Taking 200Hz as an example, the maximum distortion in the cracked area is 2.76V, and the base value in the crack-free area is 2.18V. The calculated distortion rate is 0.26. Following the same method, the distortion rates for 600Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are 0.22, 0.16, 0.03, and 0.01, respectively.

[0084] S6: With frequency as the independent variable X and distortion rate as the dependent variable Y, perform a polynomial fitting to obtain the coefficients and determine the crack type.

[0085] Using frequencies of 200Hz, 600Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz as independent variables X, and distortion rates of 0.26, 0.22, 0.16, 0.03, and 0.01 as dependent variables Y, a first-order polynomial fitting was performed.

[0086] Y = aX + b

[0087] The coefficients of the first-order polynomial are obtained as a = -2.42 × 10⁻⁶. -5 ;

[0088] A negative value for 'a' indicates that the distortion rate decreases as the frequency increases, classifying it as a non-surface crack. This is because the lower the frequency, the greater the skin depth, the larger the interaction area between the non-surface crack and the induced current, and the more significant the disturbance to the magnetic field.

[0089] S7: Calculate the overall distortion rate Q based on the crack type. f Then, the crack depth is calculated;

[0090] The distortion rate Q is calculated by taking the lowest frequency (200Hz) with a distortion rate of 0.26 and the second lowest frequency (600Hz) with a distortion rate of 0.22. f ,

[0091] ;

[0092] The overall distortion rate Q f Substituting 0.185 into the pre-calibrated formula for calculating the depth of non-surface cracks, the depth of the non-surface crack is calculated to be 0.9 mm from the surface.

[0093] Example 2:

[0094] The structure under test is scanned again. The operation steps for S1-S5 are the same as in Implementation Case 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0095] S6: With frequency as the independent variable X and distortion rate as the dependent variable Y, perform a polynomial fitting to obtain the coefficients and determine the crack type.

[0096] Using frequencies of 200Hz, 600Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz as independent variables X, and distortion rates of 0.17, 0.19, 0.23, 0.28, and 0.32 as dependent variables Y, a first-order polynomial fitting was performed.

[0097] Y = aX + b

[0098] The coefficients of the first-order polynomial are obtained as a = 1.4 × 10⁻⁶. -5 ;

[0099] A positive 'a' indicates that the distortion rate increases with increasing frequency, classifying it as a surface crack. This is because the higher the frequency, the smaller the skin depth, and the more significant the disturbance of the magnetic field by the surface crack.

[0100] S7: Calculate the overall distortion rate Q based on the crack type. f Then, the crack depth is calculated;

[0101] The distortion rate of 0.32 at the highest frequency (10kHz) and 0.28 at the second highest frequency (5kHz) are used to calculate the combined distortion rate Q. f ;

[0102] ;

[0103] The overall distortion rate Q f Substituting 0.23 into the pre-calibrated formula for calculating the surface crack depth, the depth of the non-surface crack is calculated to be 1.5 mm.

[0104] The calibration formula can be established by experimentally measuring the distortion rate of surface cracks at different depths, thus establishing the relationship between the distortion rate and the crack depth.

[0105] Through the above steps, it is possible to distinguish the types of cracks and accurately quantify their depths across the entire wall thickness of the tested structure, providing reliable data support for structural safety assessment.
