Surface hardening improves the wear resistance and fatigue strength of dynamically stressed components. These functional characteristics are mainly determined by surface hardness, hardening depth and residual stress.

An essential quality feature of the surface hardening process is the thickness of the hardened layer (SHD). Currently, the hardened layer can only be tested in random samples using destructive methods, a procedure that is both costly and time-consuming.

Ultrasonic waves propagating in polycrystalline materials (steel) are scattered at material interfaces with changes of density and/or elastic properties. In general, the ultrasonic waves are scattered in all directions, one part also back to the ultrasonic transducer that generated the ultrasonic pulse. The intensity of backscattered ultrasound received by the transducer depends on the ratio of geometric size of scattering geometry to the wavelength of ultrasound and on the degree of material property difference at the interface denoted by the term acoustic impedance change.

In the regime where the ultrasonic wave length is large compared to the size of scattering geometry, higher ultrasound frequencies (or shorter wave lengths) increase the intensity of ultrasonic backscattering. Further, intensity of backscattering increases with the average effective size of the scattering geometry, for example the grain size of the polycrystalline steel. Using the appropriate frequency of about 20 MHz, the microstructure change between the hardened case (usually fine grained Martensite) and the core material with coarse grained microstructure causes a distinct increase of backscattering intensity. This effect can be observed when the ultrasonic pulse crosses the interface and standard time of flight evaluation yields the depth position of the interface that corresponds to the Surface Hardening Depth (SHD

Eddy Current Probes current probes consist of the acquired brands of Nortec and NDT Engineering. We offer more than 10,000 standard and custom designed eddy current probes, standard references, and accessories. This section features many of the standard design probes that are available in a wide range of diameters, frequencies, and connector styles.Olympus also offers custom probe designs to meet specific inspection requirements. Eddy current probes may be designed to match the contours of a part or shaped to fit into a fixture for fast and accurate inspections.

Sliding probes are specifically designed to inspect rows of fasteners. They operate in reflection mode (driver/pickup coils) and are used to find surface and near-surface flaws.

Sliding probes are available in two different types:

• Adjustable Types : Iinclude shims that allow the probe to be adjusted to accommodate different fastener sizes and include Microdot connectors
• Fixed Types : Capable of finding the same flaws as the adjustable but are usually procedure specific due to coil size and frequency range

The fixed versions typically include the Fischer/LEMO Triax connector and their underside is relieved to enable the probe to easily slide over raised fastener heads.

Olympus NDT is pleased to introduce the new Doubler Edge Skin Crack Inspection solution, which utilizes the latest ECA technologies for subsurface detection. Drastically reduced inspection times, C-scan imagery, large probe coverage, encoded scan, and data/setup recording capabilities are just a few of the many benefits of OmniScan technology. Intuitive imagery with the C-scan allows for higher probability of detection and better reproducibility, and also makes it easier to identify the rivet row and edge on-screen. Thanks to its wide coverage, probe positioning is not critical. This coverage also enables both edges of the doubler to be covered during the same scan.In comparison with the conventional method of performing this type of inspection, this solution is a major step forward in terms of reduced inspection time

As a part of its eddy current array solutions, Olympus proposes an innovative pipe inspection kit for stress corrosion cracking detection.Though the results are comparable, ECA technology is much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than penetrant or magnetic-particle inspection. With ECA inspection, you can eliminate costly and complicated procedures, such as paint and coating removal.The new versitile ECA probe with interchangeable wedges fits a wide-range of pipe sizes.With the new continuous mode, scan imagery is revealed in real time with a constant results stream.

Key features:

• Indications are detected in all directions with only a single pass.

3) ECA Subsurface Crack Detection

 

Commercial and military aircraft are built by joining overlapping aluminum sheets together with thousands of fasteners. Fatigue cracks on the underlying layers of aluminum are often concealed by the first sheet layer. To guarantee the integrity of any airplane, these hidden flaws must be detected and repaired during regular in-service inspections.

As a part of its series of aerospace solutions, Olympus proposes an innovative fastener and subsurface crack inspection technique, which propels eddy current technology into previously uncharted territory. This new technology provides an incredibly clear image of cracks under the first layer of aluminum aircraft skin, providing efficient and reliable results

Olympus propels eddy current technology into uncharted territory in the aerospace industry, with an innovative surface crack detection solution for lap-splice inspection. The structure of an aircraft contains thousands of fasteners, so ensuring their integrity can be an arduous process. Conventional inspection techniques are typically very time consuming and the probability of detection is highly dependant on operator skill. Nevertheless, for over a decade the technology has remained relatively stagnant ... until now.Using eddy current array considerably reduces the duration of an inspection, and detection probability is increased. This solution not only saves man-hours, but its streamlined inspection process helps minimize the possibility for error.
