Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing and signal processing technology, specifically to a method for extracting and compensating for eddy current hardness features to suppress valve geometry interference. Background Technology

[0002] Eddy current testing, as a non-destructive testing method, has the advantages of short testing cycle, high efficiency, low cost and no damage to the surface quality of components in the field of material hardness sorting. It is widely used in the quality inspection of key components such as aero-engine valves.

[0003] Eddy current detection signals are the result of the coupling of multiple factors, including component geometry, electromagnetic parameters, and detection conditions. For valves, differences in geometric parameters such as stem diameter, overall length, and neck curvature can severely interfere with hardness feature extraction, leading to different eddy current response signals for the same hardness value and reducing sorting accuracy. Traditional methods typically use fixed thresholds or simple regression models for hardness sorting, which are insufficient to effectively suppress geometric interference. Furthermore, changes in the detection coil's own heating and ambient temperature can alter coil resistance and material electromagnetic parameters, causing eddy current impedance signal drift and further exacerbating feature instability. While some existing studies have introduced machine learning methods for hardness classification, these often require a large number of training samples and struggle to achieve online adaptive updates.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can remove geometric interference from the original eddy current signal, extract stable features sensitive to hardness, and compensate for temperature effects in real time, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in valve hardness eddy current detection.

Plot the difference between the phase characteristics and the standard phase characteristics on the x-axis and the rate of change of hardness on the y-axis. Fit a phase modulation term in the form of a sinusoidal function and solve for the phase modulation coefficient using the nonlinear least squares method. The value range is usually from 0 to 1.

[0122] 9. Method for obtaining the temperature influence scaling factor: Take a standard valve and place it in a constant temperature chamber to measure its amplitude characteristics at different temperatures. Plot the temperature difference as the abscissa and the normalized amplitude change rate as the ordinate. Use a Gaussian function to perform curve fitting. The standard deviation of the fitted Gaussian function is the temperature influence scaling factor, which is used to describe the degree of additional attenuation of the amplitude characteristics after the temperature exceeds the standard temperature.

[0123] 10. Method for obtaining the temperature modulation coefficient of hardness-sensitive characteristics: Take a standard valve and place it in a constant temperature chamber to measure its hardness-sensitive characteristic value at different temperatures. Plot the temperature difference as the abscissa and the normalized rate of change of hardness-sensitive characteristics as the ordinate. Fit a temperature modulation term in the form of a sine function. Solve the temperature modulation coefficient of hardness-sensitive characteristics by nonlinear least squares method.
