AI Technical Summary
Existing AC electromagnetic field detection technology has insufficient sensitivity and limited signal resolution in the inspection of welds in austenitic stainless steel small-diameter pipes. It is also significantly affected by external interference, making it difficult to effectively identify minute defects, resulting in unclear detection response and insufficient signal stability and accuracy.
A method combining gyromagnetic focusing excitation and phase enhancement is adopted. An axial focusing magnetic field is generated by a conical gyromagnetic focusing excitation coil, and the magnetic field components are collected by a TMR sensor array. The phase-amplitude joint enhancement algorithm and geometric template compensation method are used to achieve efficient detection of weld cracks.
It significantly improves the sensitivity and reliability of weld inspection for small-diameter pipes, enhances adaptability to environmental noise, improves the authenticity and repeatability of inspection results, and can effectively identify minute defects.
