Traditional metal test blocks are not fully applicable. However, the thermosetting resin also has high performance requirements. Therefore, defects such as pores and cracks will appear in the processing process, which increases the difficulty of processing and leads to low accuracy of verification results and misjudgment.

[0028] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] The utility model provides a calibration test block for ultrasonic phased array detection of epoxy casting products, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a test block 1, which is cast and molded with a thermosetting resin; a plurality of transverse through holes are opened on the test block 1, and a pipe is arranged in each transverse through hole, and the plurality of transverse through holes are arranged at equal intervals and arranged in the same direction, and the angle between the transverse through holes arranged in the same direction and the horizontal plane is 76°. The test block 1 is integrally cast and molded with a thermosetting resin material, so that the test block 1 and the workpiece to be measured have the same parameters such as sound velocity and acoustic impedance. In order to avoid cracks in subsequent drilling, the utility model uses pipes inserted at different depths in the test block made of thermosetting resin material as prefabricated defects to verify the sensitivity, detection limit and resolution of the measurement curve. The calibration test block 1 is cast using thermosetting resin material, and a pipe is used as a prefabricated defect inside the calibration test block 1, and its position inside the calibration test block is determined. Therefore, the test block 1 proposed by the utility model uses thermosetting resin material and will not have pores and cracks during the processing process, so as to solve the current situation that there is no calibration test block for ultrasonic phased array detection of epoxy cast products, which can reduce the difficulty of calibration and reduce misjudgment.

[0030] There are several test blocks 1, the symmetry planes of the test blocks 1 are parallel, and the positions of the transverse through holes on each test block 1 are consistent, so as to avoid errors in making curves and calibration.

[0031] The pipe is made of metal material to avoid the inevitable cracks and other defects of brittle materials in the drilling, which affect the accuracy of TCG curve production and calibration. The diameters of several pipes are the same, ranging from 0.7mm to 2.5mm. Five specifications of metal pipes with diameters of 0.7mm to 2.5mm are used as prefabricated defects to verify the detection sensitivity, detection limit, and calibration basis of the curve. Using the test block group with 0.7mm to 2.5mm prefabricated defects, parameters such as the speed of sound in test block 1 can be tested. For test blocks of different thicknesses, test curves with different sensitivities and detection limits can be produced, and the measurement parameters of the curve can be tested.

[0032] The thermosetting resin is epoxy resin, which is used to measure parameters such as the sound velocity of the resin material, produce ultrasonic phased array TCG curves of epoxy casting products, verify the detection sensitivity, detection limit and scanning resolution of different thicknesses, and solve the problems of difficulty and low efficiency of non-destructive testing of epoxy casting products due to large attenuation.

[0033] The test block 1 is in the shape of a cuboid, with a length ranging from 350 mm to 400 mm, a width ranging from 35 mm to 50 mm, and a height ranging from 100 mm to 160 mm, and its thickness meets the requirements of detection limit, detection accuracy and sensitivity.

[0034] The distance between the transverse through hole and the two end faces of the test block 1 is not less than 35mm, and the distance between the transverse through hole and the upper surface of the test block 1 is 10mm to 20mm, which meets the requirements for the production of the phased array TCG curve to verify the detection limit and sensitivity of the phased array for epoxy casting test pieces. The highest and lowest prefabrication defects should meet the requirements for avoiding monitoring blind spots.

[0035] The utility model proposes a calibration test block for ultrasonic phased array detection of epoxy cast products. The detection method is phased array ultrasonic detection. The test block group is block-shaped and is a cast product of epoxy cast material. Each test block is cast with 1 to 8 pipes made of metal material as prefabricated defects. The pipes made of metal material are arranged linearly, and the outer diameters of the metal pipes are five specifications of 0.7mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm. The diameter of the metal pipes on each test block is the same. The cross-hole is corrected to make the cross-hole flush with the surface of the test block. In order to solve the current situation that there is no calibration test block for ultrasonic phased array detection of epoxy cast products, the detection technical parameters are the same as the material of the workpiece being detected, and the acoustic impedance and other properties are the same. It has the characteristics of low calibration difficulty, intuitive detection results, high similarity and can reduce misjudgment. The detection accuracy and display accuracy of the TCG curve surface scan are detected through the longitudinal and horizontal distances of the metal material pipe. The surface finish should be guaranteed when machining the test block 1.

[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
