Abstract
To enhance the detectable defect depth when using pulse phase thermographic non-destructive testing, the effect of applying long-duration heating was studied. Analytical calculations revealed that long-duration heating improves the phase difference between defective and non-defective areas especially for deep defects, and that phase noise decreases concomitantly with increasing heating duration. These results mean that the long-duration heating is effective to detect deep defects. Experiments using a polymethylmethacrylate specimen having artificial defects demonstrated that defects with up to 8–9mm depth were detected in a phase image obtained after applying 30s heating, which is a significant improvement compared with results obtained by instantaneous pulse heating (detectable defect depth was 5–6mm).
