BACKGROUND

[0002] The thickness of the hardened layer of the metal workpiece is less than or equal to 15 mm, the diameters of the metal workpieces are different, corresponding test blocks adopt horizontal holes as artificial defects, and before metal hardened layer ultrasonic flaw detection is performed each time, test blocks with different horizontal hole defects need to be selected to calibrate the ultrasonic flaw detector, and therefore a metal hardened layer ultrasonic flaw detection test block is needed to integrate horizontal hole defects of metal workpieces with different diameters, and in combination with series horizontal hole defects of the test block, the ultrasonic flaw detector can be quickly calibrated, and the ultrasonic flaw detection efficiency of defects in the metal hardened layer is improved.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the technical scheme as follows: a metal hardened layer ultrasonic flaw detection test block, including the test block of being detected metal and its material quality, curvature, surface roughness, heat treatment condition, hardened layer condition being same with the metal of being detected, the base body of the test block is 180mm×100mm×180mm's step solid, the limit deviation of length and height, width of test block is ±0.1mm, 9 layers of steps are uniformly distributed on this test block, and 3 horizontal holes are uniformly distributed on each step surface.

[0005] 9 layers of steps are circular arc steps with radius of 251mm, 236mm, 226mm, 216mm, 206mm, 186mm, 176mm, 166mm, 156mm, which are sequentially machined on the test block, and the step height is 20mm, 3 horizontal holes with diameter of 0.5mm and depth of 10mm are uniformly distributed on each step surface, the center straight line interval of the 3 horizontal holes is 25mm, and the distance from the arc to the hole wall is 1mm, 3mm and 5mm respectively, the surface roughness Ra of the arc surface is less than or equal to 1.6μm, the surface roughness Ra of the remaining surface is less than or equal to 6.3μm, the horizontal hole diameter tolerance is ±0.01mm, the hole bottom flatness error should not be more than ±0.03mm, and the hole surface roughness Ra is not more than 3.2μm.

[0006] The utility model has the beneficial effects as follows:

[0007] Ultrasonic testing was used to inspect the hardened metal layer of this ultrasonic flaw detection test block. The ultrasonic testing probe (straight probe and angle probe) scanned the outer arc surface of the test block, achieving 100% coverage of transverse hole defects. The detection distance and sensitivity were adjusted using the transverse holes. The transverse hole defect display signal on the ultrasonic flaw detector screen was adjusted to the reference wave height, and an alarm zone was set, thus meeting the ultrasonic flaw detection requirements of hardened metal workpieces of different diameters.

The test block is made from the metal being tested, and its material, curvature, surface roughness, heat treatment condition, and hardened layer condition are the same as those of the metal being tested. The test block substrate is a solid stepped body of 180mm × 100mm × 180mm, and the limit deviation of the length, height, and width of the test block is ±0.1mm. Nine evenly distributed steps are machined on this test block 1, and three transverse holes 2 are evenly distributed on the surface of each step.

[0013] The nine-tiered steps are circular arc steps with radii of 251mm, 236mm, 226mm, 216mm, 206mm, 186mm, 176mm, 166mm, and 156mm, with a step height of 20mm. Each step surface has three evenly distributed horizontal holes with a diameter of 0.5mm and a depth of 10mm. The centers of the three holes are spaced 25mm apart and 25mm from the edge of the arc. The hole walls are 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm from the arc, respectively. The surface roughness Ra of the arc surface is ≤1.6μm, and the surface roughness Ra of the other surfaces is ≤6.3μm. The diameter tolerance of the horizontal holes is ±0.01mm; the flatness error of the hole bottom should not exceed ±0.03mm, and the surface roughness (Ra) of all holes should not exceed 3.2μm.

The test block 1 is made from the metal being tested, and its material, curvature, surface roughness, heat treatment condition, and hardened layer condition are the same as those of the metal being tested. The base of the flaw detection test block 1 is a solid stepped body of 180mm×100mm×180mm, and the limit deviation of the length, height, and width of the test block 1 is ±0.1mm.

Three horizontal holes were evenly distributed on each step surface, with a straight-line interval of 25mm between the centers of the three horizontal holes and a distance of 25mm from the edge of the arc. The distances of the hole walls from the arc were 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm, respectively.

The diameter tolerance of the transverse hole is ±0.01mm; the flatness error of the hole bottom should not exceed ±0.03mm, and the surface roughness (Ra) of all holes should not be greater than 3.2μm.

[0017] Ultrasonic testing was used to inspect the hardened metal layer of the ultrasonic testing test block 1. The ultrasonic testing probe (straight probe and angle probe) scanned the arc surface of the test block, achieving 100% coverage of the transverse hole 2 defect. The detection distance and detection sensitivity were adjusted using the transverse hole 2 defect. The display signal of the transverse hole 2 defect on the screen of the ultrasonic flaw detector was adjusted to the reference wave height, and an alarm zone was set, thus meeting the ultrasonic flaw detection requirements of hardened metal workpieces of different diameters.
