Abstract
The amplitude distributions of acoustic emission signals generated during the formation of corrosion microcracks in loaded welded joints connecting two corrosion-resistant steel tubes are studied. For acoustic emission signal amplitudes of less than 0.6 mV and a microcrack concentration of ∼10 mm−3, the distribution density of the signal amplitudes is described by a gamma function. For acoustic emission signal amplitudes exceeding 1.0 mV and a microcrack concentration of greater than or equal to 102 mm−3, the distribution density of the amplitudes exhibits two maxima, whose shape is described by a Gaussian function. The mean amplitudes of acoustic emission signals differ by a factor of 3. The change in the amplitude distribution of acoustic emission signals is explained by the effect exerted by the weld-metal interface on the microcrack formation.
