Abstract
In this paper, we present an ultrasound nondestructive testing (NDT) method for high-temperature (HT) applications using laser-generated Lamb waves and aluminum nitride (AlN) sensors. Lamb waves were introduced to a stainless steel plate by the Nd:YAG pulsed laser at one point and detected by an AlN receiver at a distant position. The fundamental symmetric ( ) and antisymmetric ( ) Lamb waves generated by the pulsed laser were successfully detected by the AlN sensor. This detection was done on a stainless steel plate at temperatures ranging from room temperature to about 800 °C, with a signal-to-noise ratio of higher than 20 dB. Based on the time-of-flights analysis, the ability of this NDT method to localize the defect at an HT (~800 °C) has been demonstrated.
