Detection of corrosion under coating using pulsed magnetic flux leakage technique

July 2011 · Chinese Journal of Sensors and Actuators

Pulsed magnetic flux leakage (PMFL) technique shows potential advantages in the detection of corrosion, cracks and other defects of ferromagnetic plates or pipeline. However, the magnetic flux leakage field of corrosion is so weak that the typical structure of symmetric excitation PMFL sensor is not valuable for the detection of corrosion. To solve the problem, a new structural PMFL sensor with ... [Show full abstract] asymmetric excitation structure is introduced in this paper. The results of both the finite element analysis and experiments validate that the new PMFL probe is valuable for detecting the corrosion no matter under coating or not. It achieves the desired detection need.

Reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer for laser photodissociation

May 1992 · Review of Scientific Instruments

We describe a new reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer configuration for laser photodissociation of mass‐selected ions and the initial performance characteristics observed for this instrument. Ions are produced by laser photoionization within the acceleration region of the instrument or by laser vaporization in an external pulsed‐nozzle cluster ion source. Mass selection is accomplished ... [Show full abstract] with pulsed deflection plates at the end of an initial drift section. Laser photodissociation of selected ions takes place at the turning point in the ion trajectory in the reflectron. The transit time through a second drift section defines the fragment ion masses. Optimized operating conditions and the role of mass discrimination in this instrument are discussed.

Time reversal method for guided wave inspection in pipes

September 2008 · Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering in China

The application of the time reversal method in pipe-like structures based on finite element method (FEM) is investigated. A steel pipe model measuring 70 mm x 3.5 mm is used to analyze the reflection coefficient of the L(0,2) mode with the time reversal process. Simulation results show that the time reversal array method is beneficial to the improvement of the signalto-noise ratio of a guided ... [Show full abstract] wave inspection system. As the intercepting window is widened, more energy is included in re-emitted signals, which leads to a large reflection coefficient of the L(0,2) mode. In parallel, a circumferential locating method based on the time reversal method is described. The time reversal process used for guided wave inspection leads to the temporal and spatial focusing. When the time reversal signals are re-emitted, the angular profile obtained at the axial location of the defect can be used to determine the circumferential location of the defect. Except for a pipe with one defect, the circumferential locating method has been verified on another pipe model with two defects. Meanwhile, the elements number of the time reversal array has been discussed for enhancing the discrimination of the defect circumferential location.

Reconstruction of size and depth of simulated defects in austenitic steel plate using pulsed infrare...

July 2012 · Infrared Physics & Technology

In this paper the size and depth (distance from the tested surface) of defects in austenitic steel were estimated using pulse infrared thermography. The thermal contrast calculated from the surface distribution of the temperature is dependent on both these parameters. Thus, two independent experimental methods of defect size and depth determination were proposed. The defect size was estimated on ... [Show full abstract] the basis of surface distribution of the time derivative of the temperature, whereas the defect depth was assessed from the dependence of surface thermal contrast vs. cooling time.

Scatter of fracture toughness in an inhomogeneous material

April 2007 · Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures

Abstract— Usually, scatter in fracture toughness values is studied by assuming the employed steel plate to be macroscopically homogeneous in toughness, but it is probable that inhomogeneity contributes to scatter. This paper proposes a method which can discriminate scatter due to inhomogeneity from scatter measured in tests by using small size test pieces, cut out of previously fractured test ... [Show full abstract] specimens used for fracture toughness tests. By this method, the observed scatter of Kc(J) in a previous paper by some of the present authors was shown to be affected considerably by inhomogeneity, although the observed scatter was fairly well described by a Weibull distribution analysis.

Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection of Moving Steel Sheets

January 1996

Young-Kil Shin

In the process of making drawn and ironed cans out of a steel sheet, non-metallic inclusions such as chemical oxides in the steel sheet may cause cracks. Therefore, steel sheets are inspected before they are drawn and the magnetic flux leakage testing is usually employed for the inspection [1]. When there are non-metallic inclusions in the steel sheet, magnetic fields produced by a magnetizer ... [Show full abstract] leak out around such defects because of the differences in material permeability. These leakage fields are detected by flux sensitive sensors such as Hall plates or magnetodiodes [2].
