ULTRASOUND PHASED ARRAY DEVICES AND METHODS FOR USE WITH STAINLESS STEEL.

摘要

Contemplated configurations and methods are directed to non-destructive ultrasound testing of stainless steel materials, and especially materials in a difficult-to-reach position, in which a phased array probe is operated using longitudinal waves, wherein the probe is further operated at an angle that provides substantially complete ultrasound coverage when the beam angle is modified.
