چکیده

This paper presents several examples for ultrasonic testing systems. Solid cross sections (bars and billets) and tubes (seamless and welded) are typical test tasks. The use of mono-element probes and phased array probes is compared.Systems for bars and billets with linear transportation and with rotational testing concepts (rotating bar/billet and linear probe movement) are presented. Large-scale immersion tanks for aerospace billets (aluminum, titanium, nickel-based alloys) provide the highest possible test sensitivity. The test tanks with high-precision mechanics sometimes use specially focused probes for multi-zone inspection (in accordance with SAE AMS 2628, SAE AMS-STD -2154, SNECMA DMC or MTU MTV 1033). A very large testing system was designed for forged bars with a diameters up to 1 m, lengths up to 10 m and weights up to 35 tons.The second part of the paper discusses testing systems for welded tubes. The tube welds can be electric resistance welds (ERW) or submerged-arc welds (SAW, longitudinal and helical) . Large wall thicknesses and the wide welds (SAW -pipes) lead to large testing volumes, especially if off-bead defects shall be detected. In addition, SHELL and some other test specifications ask for many test angles and probe positions. These requirements lead to a very large number of mono-element probes or suggest the use of phased array probes. Phased array probes with properly adjusted time-corrected-gain (TCG) and angle-corrected-gain (ACG) produce a uniform test sensitivity within the testing volume. This requires a proper design of probes, probe holders and test mechanics, e.g. by means of the CIVA software.
