Abstract
Multilayer materials with metal-metal bonded structure have been widely applied in aviation, aerospace, and nuclear industry. Disbond is prone to exist in lead-steel bonded structure, which degrades the load capacity and mechanical behaviors. Thermography nondestructive testing is a potential candidate for sub-layer defect detection. However, lead-steel bonded structure is unbearable when undertaken with over-heating of instantaneous temperature, which will lead to subsequent damage or generation of more unpredictable disbond. In addition, detection sensitivity of the deeper defects requires to be enhanced. In this paper, the mathematical derivation and the implementation of the periodic pulsed thermography have been established for detecting inner defects of lead-steel structure. This has been especially conducted for detecting small and deep defects that require high energy to increase detectability. Validation of the proposed method has been undertaken on both inductive thermography and optical thermography. The obtained results have demonstrated that periodic pulsed thermography is highly efficient for deep inner defect inspection of metal-metal bonded structure.
