Multi-parameter Probability of Detection (POD) model for ultrasonic testing of heavy rotor forgings: Simulation and experimental validation of reflector angular position and cluster characterization.

Article:
VGB PowerTech 07/2018; 2018(7):38-42

Most demanding components – for example heavy rotor forgings for the energy sector – are inspected with volumetric and surface detection NDE methods – either manually or using automated systems. The d...

Patent:
DE102016225979A1 06/2018

When inspecting objects using ultrasound, echoes often bounce off internal walls and outer boundaries before reaching a specific point, which can create confusing signals and hidden flaws in standard ...

Active thermography with electromagnetic excitation, meaning induction and conduction thermography, is a reliable NDE method with a wide range of applications. Over the past years the basics of the el...

Patent:
DE102016224438A1 06/2018

When inspecting materials for hidden internal flaws using ultrasound, technicians often struggle to balance the width of the sound beam with the precision needed to detect small defects. Traditional l...

Patent:
DE102016224556A1 06/2018

Inspecting internal components or materials without damaging them is a critical task in engineering and manufacturing. Traditional ultrasonic testing methods often struggle to provide clear results wh...

Article:
European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing 06/2018, At Gothenburg, Sweden; 12

Sizing of indications and the determination of the inspection sensitivity are core tasks in ultrasonic testing. They ensure that critical inhomogenities can be detected and assessed. For the Synthetic...

Conference Paper:
European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing 06/2018, At Gothenburg, Sweden; 12

In the field of ultrasonic testing there are two key questions: Which defects can be found and-in the case indications are found-do they restrict the use of the part? Regarding both questions, the pre...
