Reconstruction of flaw images by the C-SAFT method from echo signals measured by an antenna array in the triple-scanning mode
Source abstract
Abstract
The application of antenna matrices (AMs) for obtaining flaw images during automated nondestructive ultrasonic testing is considered. The conventional technique of using an AM as a phased AM (PAM) has a number of drawbacks. One of them is related to the small number of AM elements and consists in a low frontal resolution of the thus-formed images. Scanning with an AM operating in the double scanning mode, viz., the so-called triple-scanning mode, allows coherent summation of partial images for each position and obtaining a resulting image with a frontal resolution that cannot be attained with a PAM. In order to test the serviceability of the proposed algorithm in the CIVA program, echo signals reflected from a crack model with a height of 6 mm and a length of 30 mm in a tested object, which simulated a welded joint of a pipeline with a conventional diameter of 800 mm (дy800), were calculated. The results of the reconstruction of images of model objects in the form of a drilled side hole with a diameter of 6 mm at a depth of 15 mm in a CO-2 specimen and a fatigue crack in a welded joint of a д y800 pipeline are presented. To reduce the influence of reverberation noise, a B-type median template was subtracted from echo signals. The flaw images that were reconstructed in numerical and model experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
