Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of nondestructive testing, pulse thermography, as an infrared thermal wave nondestructive testing method, has developed relatively maturely. During the testing process, the thermal pulse signal should be applied by a thermal excitation source, irradiated on the test surface of the test object, and heated. The heating time is generally 2ms. After heating, the test object cools naturally. In this process, the heat energy will be transferred to the inside of the test object. During this period, the temperature field distribution on the surface of the test object is collected by an infrared thermal imager. Since the thermal conductivity of the defect is different from that of the material of the test object, the temperature of the defect area is different from that of the normal area. According to the information collected by the thermal imager, the size and depth of the defect are calculated by computer. However, in the actual testing in the field of nondestructive testing, there is no integrated thermal excitation device of flash pulse and hot air gun thermal convection, and the existing thermal excitation device is not well sealed, and the surface of the sample is heated unevenly, which is not conducive to improving the accuracy of the test results, and cannot meet various testing needs.
