摘要
We developed a technique for nondestructively evaluating spot welds based on through transmission of Lamb waves. The nugget diameter can be evaluated by measuring the width of the zone where attenuated transmitted waves are observed. A particularly important feature of the developed technique is that spot welds with no weld metal can be reliably distinguished from spot welds with weld metal. We also developed a measuring system using array transducers. The measurement results using the system agree well with the nugget diameters measured by cross sectional observation.
