Non-destructive testing (NDT)<\/strong> is an essential component in industrial sectors that require high safety and quality standards<\/strong>. These methods allow the structure of materials and components to be examined without compromising their integrity, thus ensuring their safe and efficient use. Among the different NDT methods, the ultrasound-based (UT)<\/strong> one stands out<\/strong> for its ability to inspect the volume of the<\/strong> examined object without dangers from radiation and the like.<\/strong> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” custom_margin=”||25px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The ultrasonic method uses high-frequency sound waves<\/strong> to investigate the internal characteristics of materials<\/strong>. These waves, generally between 1MHz and 10MHz<\/strong>, are generated by a transducer<\/strong> that sends them through the material to be examined<\/strong>. When the waves encounter a discontinuity<\/strong>, such as an internal defect or a change in material<\/strong>, part of the waves is reflected<\/strong> and returns to the transducer<\/strong>, while the rest continues its path<\/strong>. By analyzing the time it takes<\/strong> for the waves to return and their intensity, it is possible to determine the location<\/strong>, size<\/strong> , and nature of the defects<\/strong>. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Preparation<\/strong>: Before the test begins, the surface of the material must be cleaned and prepared<\/strong>. A<\/strong> gel or bonding liquid<\/strong> is applied to ensure that the ultrasonic waves are effectively transferred from the transducer to the material<\/strong> without dispersing into the air. <\/p>\n Emission and detection<\/strong>: the transducer<\/strong>, placed in contact with the surface of the material, emits ultrasonic waves<\/strong> that travel through the material<\/strong>. When waves encounter an interface<\/strong>, such as a defect<\/strong>, they are reflected back toward the transducer. <\/p>\n Data analysis<\/strong>: Reflected waves<\/strong> are analyzed<\/strong> by an electronic system that creates an image or graph<\/strong>, known as an A-scan, B-scan, <\/em>or C-scan<\/em>. These graphs<\/strong> help identify any discontinuities or anomalies in the material<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Interpretation<\/strong>: Interpreting data<\/strong> requires specific skills<\/strong>, as it is necessary to distinguish between reflections caused by defects<\/strong> and those due to natural characteristics<\/strong> of the material<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The UT method is widely used<\/strong> in a variety of industries, including aerospace<\/strong>, oil and gas<\/strong>, automotive<\/strong>, shipbuilding<\/strong> , and construction<\/strong>.
