PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly accurately detect a flaw in a steel product.SOLUTION: A transmitting/receiving section 3 transmits an ultrasonic pulse signal while scanning an ultrasonic probe 2 and receives a flaw detection signal caused by the ultrasonic pulse signal. A storage section 5 stores flaw detection signals for a plurality of pulses received by the transmitting/receiving section 3. A subtraction signal acquiring section 7a takes out a flaw detection signal predetermined pulses before a flaw detection signal subject to processing from the stored flaw detection signals, as a subtraction signal. A subtraction processing section 7b subtracts the subtraction signal from the flaw detection signal subject to the processing. Echo noise can be thus removed therefrom to provide a flaw echo signal with a high S/N ratio and with reduced noise, so that the flaw in a steel product can be highly accurately detected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve flaw detection over the whole circumference with simple and inexpensive device constitution including a small number of vibrators and to achieve easy maintenance.SOLUTION: For internal defect detection of round-bar steel 30 through water immersion ultrasonic flaw detection, an array probe 1 is used which has a plurality of excitation elements arrayed on a probe surface having a substantially circumferential probe surface facing the round-bar steel and having its center at the center axis of the round-bar steel, and is arranged so that the probe surface and a surface of the round-bar steel are at a predetermined water distance. The array probe and round-bar steel are changed in relative position in round-bar steel length directions while flaw detection of an internal defect is carried out by forming a converged ultrasonic beam by transmitting an ultrasonic wave from the array probe into the round-bar steel and receiving it, and flaw detection results are saved by round-bar steel length directions. Flaw detection in the round-bar steel length directions are carried out a plurality of times while the array probe and round-bar steel are changed in relative position in a circumferential direction so that the converged ultrasonic beam is formed in the round-bar steel at different positions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To image a structure shape in a welded part quickly and accurately (clearly) by a nondestructive testing.SOLUTION: In imaging a structure shape in a welded part for the purpose of inspecting a structure in the welded part 2 where, while scanning a cross-section orthogonal to a welding direction of an inspection target S by an ultrasonic beam B, a reflection signal from inside the inspection target is received and the scanned cross-section is imaged according to the received reflection signal, a low frequency component of the received signal is removed by subtracting a moving average point number m from a moving average waveform Ra, thereby the reflection signal from the structure in the welded part is extracted and only the extracted reflection signal is amplified. Cross-sections orthogonal to the welding direction are scanned at plural different positions along the welding direction of the inspection target by a converged ultrasonic beam, and the scanned cross-sections are imaged according to the ultrasonic received signals obtained. The plural images obtained by scanning at the plural positions along the welding direction are overlapped, and by holding the largest value among overlapped pixels, a reflection wave from the structure in the welded part is emphasized.
