  • 위상배열초음파검사(PAUT)는 기존 초음파검사에서 획득할 수 있었던 A-scan의 결과와 달리, 관로 내부로 진입하지 않고도 부식에 의한 강관 손상 정도를 정량적인 시각적 데이터로 파악할 수 있는 검사 기술이다. 관내부 직접조사가 가능한 상수도 강관을 대상으로 직접조사와 PAUT를 비교한 결과, PAUT는 높은 정확도와 신뢰성을 보여주었다. 또한, 강관 내부의 부식검사에서는 PAUT를 적용함으로써 관체의 부식 면적, 부식 최대 깊이, 부식 위치를 넓은 범위에서 신뢰성 높은 검사 및 결과 도출이 가능하였다. 이러한 결과는 PAUT 기술이 강재 구조물의 다양한 부식 문제를 신속하게 파악하고 해결하는 데 기여할 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서, 본 검사 기법은 상수도 관로의 강재 진단 및 점검에 있어 높은 신뢰성 및 효율성을 보여 주는 진단기법으로써 다양한 강재 시설물의 평가에 활용성이 클 것으로 판단된다. 이에 따라 PAUT는 상수도 시설물뿐만 아니라 다양한 시설물에서도 높은 활용 가능성을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this research is to find which technique, between the PAUT (Phased array ultrasonic test) that has been used widely in practice and RT (Radiographic test) that was used widely in the past, has the higher reliability as a non-destructive testing of welding points in water wall tubes. Methods: To evaluated the reliability of non-destructive testing, eleven test pieces that were fabricated intentionally, which have the most frequently occurred defect types in water wall tubes and then both the PAUT and RT were performed on those eleven test pieces to compare their reliability. Results: The differences of type of defect, length are occurred due to the characteristics of nondestructive testing. The RT could not detect the lack of fusion defect type in specimen #4 and #8 while PAUT could not detect the lateral crack and 1 mm size small porosity in specimen #11. Conclusion: It is concluded that applying both the RT and PAUT result the best reliability rather than applying only one test method, if it is possible, in nondestructive testing of weld water wall tube in thermal power plant boiler case.

  • Submarine pressure hulls must withstand high hydraulic pressure and be free of defects. To improve the precision of defect detection, we herein examined different probes for optimal defect assessment by applying the Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) method. Two sets of probe design parameters were selected by considering pressure hull characteristics and analyzed through modeling. PAUT probes were applied, and defect assessment results were compared based on ultrasonic signals of various simulated defects in specimens designed to be the same as actual pressure hulls. The final selected design parameters for the submarine probe, which were designed to minimize the grating lobe of wave interference effect and improve the ultrasonic resolution of pressure hull welds, were identified through the experiment. The improvement in the probe's ability to detect defects in a pressure hull was verified. Furthermore, the accuracy of defect length measurement was improved, enhancing the applicability of the technique.

  • 방사선 관련 법의 개정으로 보일러관 비파괴검사 방법으로 방사선투과검사를 대체하여 위상배열초음파탐상검사를 시행하고 있다. ASME BPVC 제5장 4절에서 제시하고 있는 주요 결함별 정성적 특징과 실제 결함을 비교하여 결함종류 판별을 확인하였고 시험편에 대해 방사선투과검사와 위상배열초음파탐상검사를 시행하여 결함크기 해상 특성을 예측하였다. 위상배열초음파탐상검사는 면상결함군과 구상결함군 결함의 판별은 할 수 있으나 형태가 유사한 결함의 판별은 용이하지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 결함크기가 합격 여부를 좌우하는 슬래그의 경우 결함의 위치나 방향에 무관하게 방사선투과검사 대비 과소 예측하였으며, 기공은 결함의 위치, 방향 및 군집 유무에 따라 과대 또는 과소 예측하는 정량적 특성이 나타나므로 결함크기 판별에 주의를 요함을 확인하였다.

  • 용접 오버레이법은 1980년 초반에 배관 용접부 결함의 임시 보수방법으로 미국발전소에 처음 사용되었다. 원자력발전소의 배관 오버레이 용접부는 초음파검사 기술을 이용하여 주기적으로 검사되어야 한다. 최근 위상배열 초음파 기술 발달로 휴대하기 좋은 소형 장비를 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 현재, 완화기법 및 또는 복잡한 형상의 검사체의 표면검사 조건을 개선하기 위한 선제적인 용접 오버레이 기법 적용이 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 복합적인 형상(용접 오버레이, 기존 용접부 및 모재)의 적당한 검사를 위해서는 여러 개의 일반 초음파검사용 초점 탐촉자들이 필요하게 된다. 대안으로 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자는 일반 초음파검사 탐촉자와 비교하여 더 좋고 빠른 커버리지를 제공하기 위해 다양한 초점거리에서 여러 검사 각도를 동시에 발생시킬 수 있다. 그래서, 이 기술은 검사 속도 증가, 비용 절감, 방사선 피폭을 줄일 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 현장검사에서 검출된 PAUT 신호에 대한 신호 분석 결과를 설명하였다.

  • A submarine has a pressure hull that can withstand high hydraulic pressure and therefore, requires the use of highly advanced shipbuilding technology. When producing a pressure hull, periodic inspection, repair, and maintenance are conducted to maintain its soundness. Of the maintenance methods, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the most effective, because it does not damage the target but sustains its original form and function while inspecting internal and external defects. The NDT process to detect defects in the welded parts of the submarine is applied through Magnetic particle Testing (MT) to detect surface defects and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Radiography Testing (RT) to detect internal defects. In comparison with RT, UT encounters difficulties in distinguishing the types of defects, can yield different results depending on the skills of the inspector, and stores no inspection record. At the same time, the use of RT gives rise to issues related to worker safety due to radiation exposure. RT is also difficult to apply from the perspectives of the manufacturing of the submarine and economic feasibility. Therefore, in this study, the Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) method was applied to propose an inspection method that can address the above disadvantages by designing a probe to enhance the precision of detection of hull defects and the reliability of calculations of defect size.

  • The Nuclear and Fossil Steam Turbines record a considerable number of failures annually. Some of these failures reported are as result of blade failure. The failure of the L-0 blade in a Steam Turbine is one of the most reported blade failure in Nuclear and Fossil steam turbines. This paper seeks to identify the best Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) method or methods to be used in the steam turbine L-0 blades inspection process. The development of systems engineering processes presents an opportunity to apply NDE inspection to the L-0 blades. This process apply computer modelling of the L-0 using ANSYS and by simulating the stresses experienced by the L-0 blade during operation it is possible to identify the most susceptible areas for crack formation and growth. The results from these models compared to industry data for validation. The analysis of these results used to predict the most probable failure location and failure modes. Therefore NDE inspection can be applied to these areas with greater degree of accuracy. This would be beneficial in the increasing the accuracy in the detection of cracks and hence save inspection time and the overall inspection cost. Furthermore, not only the location for crack formation and NDE inspection determined but also best the NDE inspection technique/techniques to be applied appropriately on the L-0 blade are prescribed.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this research is to improve the reliability of the composite material blades used for the wind power generator, by applying the phased array ultrasonic testing technique out of the many nondestructive test into the blades. Method: The wind power generation composite blades are used, as a case study, in order to evaluate the reliability of the phased array ultrasonic testing technique. Defects that are most likely occurred in the field are injected into the different locations of the three different types of artificial test pieces and then phased array ultrasonic testing technique are applied to evaluate the reliability of its effectiveness. Result: As a result of the analysis of the defect signals by applying the A scan and B scan simultaneously, depth and width of the defect could be obtained. An area of defect was proportional to the amount of energy by color in B scan image. The larger amount of energy, reflected amount of energy was appeared in the order of red, orange, yellow, blue color. Conclusion: The most reliable testing method to detect the defect in composite blades for wind power generation is considered to be the combination of the other destructive testing technique with the phased array ultrasonic testing since the PAUT alone could not detect all range of the defects in the blades.

  • 일반 위상배열 시스템에서는 다수의 압전소자를 가지는 탐촉자의 개별 소자에 인가하는 시간지연을 조절함으로써 초음파빔을 전자적으로 제어하고 초음파 영상을 획득한다. 반면, full matrix capture(FMC) 기술은 위상배열 탐촉자에 대해 하나의 소자에서 초음파를 입사시킨 신호를 모든 압전소자에서 수신하고, 이 방법으로 모든 가능한 송수신 조합의 신호 데이터를 수집하는 방법이다. 이 FMC 데이터는 후처리를 통해 초음파 영상으로 재구성될 수 있으며, 기존 위상배열 초음파 영상과 동등한 영상뿐만 아니라 가상적으로 관심영역의 모든 지점에 집속하여 분해능과 선명도가 향상된 total focusing method(TFM) 영상으로도 합성이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반 위상배열장치를 이용하여 FMC가 가능하도록 시스템을 구현하고, 취득된 FMC 신호로부터 sector B-scan 및 TFM 이미지를 영상화하는 알고리즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.
