Abstract

The advantage of ultrasonic testing of iron castings prior to destructive control consists of an impressive reduction in time and costs, as well as the ability to assess the quality of the metal anywhere on the castings. According to the acoustic characteristics of cast iron it is possible to determine the form of graphite in it and its strength. The presence of chill in the metallic base and the thickness of the chilled layer is also determined by ultrasonic method. The use of electronic signal processing allows to distinguish it from high structural noise, which makes possible the testing of cast iron for a thickness of several meters. The use of transducers with phased array is the basis of the flaw detection of containers for nuclear waste from cast iron with globular graphite with a thickness of 500 mm.
