A method includes: an arrangement step of arranging a phased array probe including a plurality of oscillators each of which is capable of emitting ultrasonic waves on an end surface of the rotor disc, in a parallel state in which the plurality of oscillators are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor disc; a first transmission step of emitting ultrasonic waves from the plurality of oscillators in the parallel state, while a timing of emitting the ultrasonic waves from each of the oscillators is controlled in a first emission pattern, and receiving reflection waves of the ultrasonic waves; and a second transmission step of emitting ultrasonic waves from the plurality of oscillators in the parallel state, while the timing of emitting the ultrasonic waves from each of the oscillators is controlled in a second emission pattern different from the first emission pattern, and receiving reflection waves of the ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasonic flaw-detection method and apparatus for blade groove in turbine rotor disc

A probe provided with a transceiving surface longer in a length direction than in a width direction thereof, and an array of ultrasonic elements provided on the transceiving surface, the probe being for emitting ultrasonic waves to a surface to be inspected of an object to be inspected that faces the transceiving surface, while moving in the width direction, the ultrasonic elements being shaped so as to have the same length in the length direction and in the width direction, and the certain of ultrasonic elements being aligned in the length direction and in the width direction and emitting ultrasonic waves a large number of times throughout the length direction in predetermined emission units of one or more ultrasonic elements.

Probe, ultrasonic testing apparatus, and ultrasonic testing control method

This invention prevents the failure of detection for horizontal and oblique lift-offs in a probe for an eddy current flaw detection test. A plurality of probes are provided, and each probe includes four detection coils. Two adjacent eddy current flaw detecting probes commonly own (share) one of the four coils. The detection coils are connected to a bridge circuit for picking up a flaw signal. The detection coils are adjusted so that interlinkage magnetic fluxes generated inside the detection coils by the eddy current become equal. An excitation coil for inducing the eddy current in a test piece by AC driving can be disposed over the detection coils. The center of the excitation coil is positioned on the center axes of the detection coils. An oscillator for applying an AC current to this excitation coil is connected to the coil.
