Inspection of stainless steel and dissimilar metal welds using ultrasonic sensing.

Improved detection, expanded inspection range, characterization of defects, increased speed, and enhanced data quality will enable better-informed decision-making.

Phased array ultrasonic testing is a mature and widely adopted technology that enables the inspection of critical components across various industries. In the past five years, new technologies such as full matrix capture and live total focusing methods have become available in most high-end phased array ultrasonic testing devices. These have been introduced into ASME and ISO standards, with dedicated training courses specified in the standards being offered by large training centers. However, technological innovation continues, and non-destructive testing equipment manufacturers are constantly striving to make the inspection process as seamless as possible. In particular, there is an ongoing demand to facilitate the setup of inspections, conduct inspections more quickly, improve the image quality of inspection data, and enable decision-making based on the best information regarding factors specific to the inspection of stainless steel and dissimilar metal welds. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.
