Utrasonic sensors Could someone suggest me which ultrasonic transducers would be suitable for me for inspection of metal panels with coatings to observe rayleigh waves propagation through it? Also where I could procure them?

We have made many cylindrical and spherical focus with almost zero aberation focused transducer for generating Rayliegh waves (20-30 MHz). We are using these transducers to obtain C-Scan images in terms of Rayleigh and Lcr Velocities for obtianing surface charectristics. If you are interested than we please contact us. There are simpler ways of obtianing Rayleigh wave or Lcr wave by using correct angle wedges.Regards Dr. Patel

Re: Utrasonic sensors : : Could someone suggest me which ultrasonic transducers would be suitable for me for inspection of metal panels with coatings to observe rayleigh waves propagation through it? Also where I could procure them?It is important to know what type of coatings you speak of as well as how thick. It the coating is to "soft" it most likely will attenuate the sound to the point where there will be no detectable wave. 1) What type of coating.
2) How thick is the coating.
3) What is the condition of the coating in terms of hardness. Kelly Phelps

.EMAT (Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducers) may offer a solution.
Since the ultrasonic wave is generated in the test piece, and not the
probe, EMATs successfully generate ultrasound beneath coatings, with no
attenuation effects from the coating. Certainly design of the EMAT will
take into consideration the coating thickness andmaterial. We have
fielded automated Rayleigh wave EMAT systems in excess of 10 MHz for
very good sensitivity. You can learn more about EMAT systems at

Re: Utrasonic sensors I am interested in finding the defects in metals and the coatings on it. The metal I am planning to use could be aluminum and an acrylic powder coating on it. The coating after cure will be about 100 µm. The defects could be due to cracks or corrosion pinholes.
I would be obliged if you could tell me what approach should I use for my application. Ultrasonic looks as one of the viable solution. I plan to use phased array transducers and study the effect of beam through infected metal.
Thanking you

Another option that would work well for your application is EMATs (Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducers). EMAT is an ultrasonic inspection, but since the ultrasound is generated in the conducting test material itself, there are no attenuation effects from the coating, as well no couplant to complicate the test results. Depending on the exact application, you could generate shear, surface, lamb, etc waves for the appropriate level of sensitivity and best orientation for detection.

| | |  Varex Imaging Large Field of View (FOV) Digital Detector Arrays (DDAs)A larger FOV DDA can reduce the space and volume of the X-ray inspection system on the factory floor ... , enable faster scanning times, better throughput and better resolution images at a lower dose. Customers can also save time and money. With these benefits in mind, Varex Imaging has designed a family of large FOV detectors (4343HE, XRD 1611, 4343DX-I, 4343CT) for our industrial imaging customers. >  CIVA 2017 UT ModuleCIVA NDE Simulation Software is the world leader of NDT
Simulation.
The UT simulation Module incl ... udes:
- "Beam computation": Beam propagation simulation
- "Inspection Simulation": Beam interaction with flaws or
specimens
The user can simulate a whole inspection process (pulse echo,
tandem or TOFD) with a wide range of probes (conventional, Phased-
arrays or EMAT), components, and flaws.

revolutionizing the handling and perfor ... mances of portable X-Ray
sets. Despite having managed to halve the weight of similar
portable X-Ray generators available on the market (while
continuing to provide the same power output), the SITEX CPSERIES
generators feature a shutter, a laser pointer, a beryllium window,
an aluminum filter and two integrated diaphragms (customized sizes
are available upon request). Without compromising the robustness
and reliability for which ICM products are renowned, the small
size and light weight of the SITEX CPSERIES will radically change
the way that you perform your RT inspections. And you will see a
positive impact in terms of both quality and return on investment
(ROI). >  NDT Master LecturerIn the program both university professors and practitioners will give lectures, which guarantees the ... oretical depth and practical inside.
