摘要
The procedure of ultrasonic testing for austenitic stainless steel welds relies heavily on the accurate assessment of actual welding faults. The research subject of this paper is a 40 mm 316L stainless steel butt weld, utilized in fusion reactors. Based on the weld acoustic performance test, sound field modeling, and reference block method, a double crystal probe S-Scan (sector scan) process is suggested. To detect the missed vertical-type groove flaws, a waveform conversion-based total focusing method (TFM) is developed. The study's findings demonstrate that the reliability of ultrasonic testing of austenitic stainless steel welds can be significantly increased by combining conventional sector scanning with cutting-edge TFM technology.
