Imagine a radar scanning the skies for aircrafts; similarly, we employ sound waves to create a map that shows flaws or corrosion within a material.
Phased array ultrasonic testing harnesses cutting-edge technology to create precise sets of focused ultrasonic beams. These beam sets can be directed to specific areas of interest, significantly enhancing the likelihood of detecting defects.
These beam sets are, essentially sound waves, sequenced to form the desired configurations, with their angles and types meticulously designed through software to establish the Phased Array setups.
Phased array ultrasonic testing is commonly employed to examine objects and materials like tubes, pipes, and bolts for irregularities, inclusions, and other internal flaws that could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the tested material.
Corrosion mapping represents an advanced non-destructive testing technique used to identify and quantify corrosion in metal structures, often within industrial environments.
This method utilises an array of ultrasonic transducers that emit and receive signals, generating a detailed map of the inspected area. This map reveals corrosion spots and their extent, enabling early detection and prompt remediation, consequently preventing catastrophic failures, enhancing safety, and prolonging the operational life of structures.
