Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe with a wide inspection field by providing a driver having a length in a direction parallel with a scanning route and a width, and a receiver having an effective coil axis orthogonal to that of the driver a length in the same direction as the driver, a width larger thant the lath and a thickness. SOLUTION: An eddy current probe 28 is provided with a housing 60, a probe element 62, and an electrical connector 64. The element 62 is provided with a driver 70, a receiver 72 and a shield 74. The driver 70 is provided with a core and a driver coil. The effective axis of the driver coil is parallel with the main direction of a magnet field and in the vicinity of a main outside surface 76 of the receiver 72, and the magnetic field is even in the vicinity of the receiver 72. The receiver 72 is provided with a receiver coil and the effective axis of the receiver coil is arranged perpendicular to the effective axis of the driver coil to shield the magnetic field with respect to the receiver 72 and the driver 70. The receiver 72 has substantially at least a width which is about 1.25 times larger than the length of the receiver 72 so that it can cover a wide field.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for evaluating echo signals obtained from a phased array experiment on a billet is disclosed. The computer-implemented method may comprise collecting the echo signals from a pulser/receiver unit, correlating the echo signals with a position on a longitudinal axis and a circumferential angle of the billet, computing an amplitude for each of the echo signals, displaying the amplitudes as indications in a c-scan data plot at a computer display unit, and determining the signal-to-noise ratios of indications located in a region-of-interest box relative to noise in surrounding boxes in the c-scan data plot. The computer-implemented method may further comprise classifying each indication as rejectable, reportable, or insignificant based on its amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio. The computer-implemented method may find applications in quality control evaluations in the aircraft industry.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the velocity of ultrasonic surface skimming longitudinal waves on various materials are described herein. In embodiments, a surface skimming longitudinal wave is generated at a first location on a material, at least a portion of that wave is detected at a second location on the material, the time-of-flight of that wave between the first and second locations is determined, and then the velocity of that wave is determined. One or more crystallographic orientations of the material may then be determined based upon that velocity.

Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a light source positioned to direct light to a first surface of a workpiece. An infrared detector is positioned to receive radiation from the first surface. A data acquisition and processing computer is coupled to the light source and the infrared detector. The computer triggers the light source to emit the light a number of instances. The computer acquires thermal data from the infrared detector for a number of times after each of the instances. The computer is configured to process the data using a theoretical solution to analyze the thermal data based upon an average of the thermal data for a number of each of corresponding ones of the times from different ones of the instances.
