Abstract
ABSTRACT Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) is an ultrasonic testing technique that generates sound in the part inspected instead of the transducer. Electromagnetic ultrasonic guided wave detection technology has problems such as low energy conversion efficiency and the great influence of environmental noise, resulting in low echo signal amplitude. When the two rows of permanent magnets are arranged non-parallel, the sound beam will be focused at the intersection point of the axes of the two rows of permanent magnets. This article uses this rule to optimise the design parameters of PPM EMAT. Distance amplitude curve (DAC) is a method of compensating. However, large-scale detection requires a flat DAC curve. In addition, the increase in the angle and length of the permanent magnets and the number of pairs of permanent magnets will improve the intensity of the defect wave indication intensity. However, the increase in the angle of the permanent magnets will increase the signal attenuation. After simulation and experiments, when the angle, length and number of permanent magnet pairs are 4°, 25 mm and 8 pairs, the corresponding EMAT has the optimal axis radiation sound field and a smoother DAC, which is more suitable for stainless steel sheets, long-distance rapid guided wave detection.
