Abstract
ABSTRACT To overcome the drawbacks of traditional electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) that depend on mechanical scanning, adding to both cost and complexity, this study introduces a sector scanning imaging method utilizing Electromagnetic Ultrasonic Shear Vertical (SV) waves. A simulation model for EMAT was developed, optimizing through variable frequency and unidirectional line focusing coils. The simulation revealed that a novel composite magnetic structure significantly enhanced the magnetic flux density to 1.318 T, a 159.44% increase over conventional magnets, leading to a 102.08% rise in ultrasonic signal intensity and a marked improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. By converting echo signal time data into spatial coordinates, the technology enables high-resolution defect imaging. The variable frequency-EMAT (VF-EMAT) technique accurately identified defects, with minor discrepancies from actual defect centers, showcasing its precision. The unidirectional line focusing-EMAT (ULF-EMAT) method further improved defect detection accuracy and shape restoration. However, the technique’s reliance on the main-pulse limits its ability to detect near-surface defects, suggesting an avenue for future research.
