Abstract
An electrodynamic ultrasonic transducer, for testing a workpiece, has a pair of spaced permanent magnets, a transducer coil, a concentrator, and a non-ferromagnetic member which partially surrounds the concentrator. In order to concentrate the magnetic lines of flux, the concentrator has a cross-sectional area which is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the adjacent permanent magnets. A transducer coil is acted on by a high frequency transmission pulse, whereby ultrasonics is produced in the workpiece to be tested.
