Abstract
The multilayered metallic structures are widely used in industrial fields. For these structures, the internal corrosion defects happening in the process of manufacture and service may seriously affect the availability and safety of the structure and even the whole equipment. In this study, to achieve the effective detection and localization of the internal corrosion defects distributed in different layers, based on energy-management pulsed eddy current testing method, a novel high-order signal feature and a new defect localization method on the basis of high-frequency component separation are proposed. The superiority of the novel high-order signal feature is verified through numerical simulation and experiments. Compared with traditional signal feature, the novel high-order signal feature is able to detect smaller-sized defects and has higher signal-to-noise ratio. The validation of the new defect localization method is proved by experiments. The macro accuracy of the proposed localization method is 91.67 % and this method is still effective for the defect with stepped depth.
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.
