Two methods for generating characteristic data matrices of ultrasonic echo signals of the spot welds are established. One is based on the ultrasonic echo amplitude and the other is based on frequency spectrum. Both methods generate scamping inspection data arrays and provide clear C-scan images. Based on C-scan noise reduction, the Krisch edge detection operator for edge detection-a gray window transform-reflects the shapes of the spot welds and allows quantitative determination of their size. The method based on the ultrasonic echo amplitude provides a greater quantitative detection accuracy.展开更多

Samples with different types of artificial defect were designed; the characteristic signal and the main parameters of the test were determined by the pre-experiment, and then parameters were optimized by orthogonal design, finally the optimum process was verified by a single panel sample. The multiple reflection echoes were chosen as the characteristic signal. The optimal C-scan results were achieved when the 20 MHz focus probe was used, and the pass band range for received signal were selected as 8 - 17. 5 MHz. The defects such as incomplete penetration and core damage can be detected with ultrasonic C-scan, and the detection accuracy can reach to 1 ram.展开更多

It is concluded that large scanning step length contributes to high testing efficiency, however, the low-resolution C-scan image generated cannot be used to assess spot welding quality reliably. Based on bicubic image interpolation, the C-scan image in low resolution with the large step length 1 000 ~xm is subdivided and reconstructed. By this means, the C-scan image resolution is greatly enhanced and testing results obtained are satisfactory, realizing rapid assessment of spot welds. The results of rapid ultrasonic C-scan test fit the actual metallographic measured value well. Mean value of normal distribution of error statistics is O. 006 67, and the standard deviation is O. 087 11. Rapid ultrasonic C-scan test based on image interpolation is of high accuracy and excellent stability.展开更多
