Abstract
The challenge of detecting cracks in powder metallurgy (PM) components has been a topic of interest for many years, with no practical commercial solution currently in place. This study employs enhanced truncation-correlation photothermal coherence tomography (eTC-PCT) to visualize 3D cracks within PM automotive parts. Through the application of effective diffusion-wave reversal techniques, blurred infrared thermophotonic images of subsurface defects (cracks) in (“green”) compressed metal PM components were restored to their original geometric resolution over the entire depth range. This approach enabled the creation of 3-dimensional depth-resolved photothermal tomographic images and cross-sectional mappings of cracks. The developed technique reveals the precise spatial dimensions of surface and subsurface cracks, reaching depths of down to 3 mm (not an upper limit) that conventional thermal imaging cannot access due to limitations imposed by the depth-integrated nature of conventional thermal-wave imaging, the properties of PM materials, and the physics of spreading diffusion. The super-resolution method was further applied to a sintered automotive part, specifically validating the efficacy of eTC-PCT for non-destructive imaging (NDI) in manufactured automotive components. Diffusion reversal imaging shows promise as a non-destructive testing (NDT) tool, with potential applications in a wide range of manufactured products, including both the green and sintered stages of automotive component production.
期刊介绍：
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
