    摘要: A shield for an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) has multiple layers of electrically insulating and electrically conductive materials which contain a coil of the EMAT. A first insulating layer lies directly on top of the coil and is attached thereto by a suitable layer of non-conductive adhesive. A second layer having both insulating and conductive portions is provided on a side of the coil opposite the first insulating layer such that the coil is completely encapsulated within and in direct contact only with the insulating portions of the first and second layers. The insulating portion of the second layer has a high electrical resistance. A third, conductive layer having a conductive adhesive side is provided in contact with the conductive portion of the second layer. The third layer is also provided with a window extending completely therethrough having dimensions coextensive with those of the coil; shielding of the coil itself by this third layer is thus prevented. Finally, a fourth insulating layer preferably made of a thin layer of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene or similar insulating material is attached to the underlying third, conductive layer by adhesive means.An alternative shield and coil arrangement is also disclosed, wherein the coil is etched on one side of a substrate and a corresponding shield configuration is etched on the other side, resulting in an integrated shield and coil assembly for use in an electromagnetic acoustic transducer.

    摘要: An EMAT apparatus which non-destructively tests spot welds between two sheets of metal. The apparatus includes a first EMAT coil on one sheet that acts as a transmitter for generating and transmitting an acoustic wave signal toward the spot weld, and a second EMAT coil on the other sheet for receiving the acoustic wave signal and converting the received acoustic wave signal to an electronic signal having a waveform. Electronics and a PC are used to measure at least one parameter of the waveform which is indicative of a characteristic of the spot weld.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of inspecting for flaws in a specular reflector, where the flaws having an expected length and the reflector is electrically conductive. The method includes directing a beam of an electromagnetic acoustic transmitting transducer along a beam axis toward the specular reflector for producing a reflected electromagnetic acoustic beam. The transmitted beam has side lobes with zero points therebetween, at least some of the side lobes being major side lobes. The reflected beam is received using an electromagnetic acoustic receiving transmitter set at an angle to the beam axis, the angle being selected to be at one of the zero points and past all of the major lobes of the transmitted beam to eliminate root and crown signals of the weld, in the reflected signal.

    摘要: A flaw detection method and arrangement utilizes electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) which ultrasonically test a material for cracks or flaws. Four EMATs are used in a pitch-catch configuration, i.e. two pairs of EMAT transmitters and receivers. The EMAT transmitters and receivers are arranged such that a first EMAT transmitter is located on the surface diagonally across from a first EMAT receiver and a second EMAT transmitter is located diagonally across from a second EMAT receiver. The first and second EMAT transmitters transmit ultrasonic signals to the first and second EMAT receivers respectively; and these ultrasonic signals are transmitted orthogonal to each other. A pulser/receiver is operatively connected to the first and second EMAT transmitters and the first and second EMAT receivers for inducing the EMAT transmitters to propagate their respective waves. The pulser/receiver also receives the signal transmitted through the material after being received by the first and second EMAT receivers. A power source is operatively connected to the pulser/receiver for powering the arrangement; and a computer or oscillator is operatively connected to the pulser/receiver for recording and displaying the signals.

    摘要: An EMAT arrangement utilizes separate transmitter and receiver EMATs which may each be connected to a tuning capacitor by a stripline cable. An electrostatic shield may also be provided between the coils and the coils can be offset from each other by 1/2 the pitch distance of sections in the coil. This reduces the duration of main bang, thus making it possible for the EMAT arrangement to detect structures which are very close to the coils.

    摘要: A noncontact ultrasonic transducer for studying the acoustic properties of a metal workpiece includes a generally planar magnetizing coil positioned above the surface of the workpiece, and a generally planar eddy current coil between the magnetizing coil and the workpiece. When a large current is passed through the magnetizing coil, a large magnetic field is applied to the near-surface regions of the workpiece. The eddy current coil can then be operated as a transmitter by passing an alternating current therethrough to excite ultrasonic waves in the surface of the workpiece, or operated as a passive receiver to sense ultrasonic waves in the surface by measuring the output signal. The geometries of the two coils can be varied widely to be effective for different types of ultrasonic waves. The coils are preferably packaged in a housing which does not interfere with their operation, but protects them from a variety of adverse environmental conditions.
