Abstract

Proposed Inspection Method for Opposite-side Defect in Steel Plate Using Synthetic Magnetic Field with High and Low Excitation Frequencies

Highlights

  • Electromagnetic inspection, ultrasonic inspection, and so forth are applied for the maintenance inspection of petrochemical plants

  • In this research, a steel plate with a thickness of 2 mm is examined assuming a large-diameter steel pipe. This method is investigated by a 3D nonlinear finite element method (FEM), taking account of the minor loop magnetism property in the steel plate, and a verification experiment is performed

  • The results obtained by this research are summarized as follows: [1] An opposite-side defect in a thin steel plate is detected by a synthetic magnetic field consisting of a large magnetic field with a low frequency and a minute magnetic field with a high frequency

Summary

Introduction

Electromagnetic inspection, ultrasonic inspection, and so forth are applied for the maintenance inspection of petrochemical plants. An electromagnetic inspection method capable of high-speed inspection is required for defect inspection on the opposite side of a large-diameter steel pipe with a thickness of about 2 mm in such plants. For this inspection, an electromagnetic inspection method using a large static magnetic field and a minute AC magnetic field is being studied.[1,2,3,4] in this inspection method, a degaussing process is needed since large residual magnetism is generated inside the steel plate during the inspection.[5]. This method is investigated by a 3D nonlinear finite element method (FEM), taking account of the minor loop magnetism property in the steel plate, and a verification experiment is performed
