Refracted angle for UT of axial groove type rotor is limited with the distance of the axial direction from the sensor installation surface. High intensity detection technique changes with the refracted angle, the change may require a combination of multiple inspection techniques. For this reason, detectable distance of a double probe technique and a tip echo technique are examined. In the distance more than 35mm, refracted angle become more than 35 degrees where refracted intensity is high and the defe...

Development of Ultrasonic Testing Method for Axial Groove Type Steam Turbine Rotor

The three-dimensional phased-array (3D-PA) ultrasonic technique has been applied to a stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in base metal, and its results for sizing have been quantitatively evaluated. The 3D-PA allows operators to scan objects volumetrically and to display results as 3D images facilitating evaluation processes considerably. The scanning pattern used is called the moving rotational sectorial-scan (MRS-scan) and it is composed of many sectors of different azimuth angles as moving the probe li...
