Background
In the current industrial production, ultrasonic detection is generally adopted for detecting the defects of the metal aluminum products, but the defects are difficult to detect by adopting a conventional ultrasonic detection method due to the complex structure of the metal aluminum products. The traditional laser ultrasonic detection technology mainly depends on a coupling agent to couple an ultrasonic transducer with a detection sample, but the detection sample has a complex shape and cannot meet the requirement, so the traditional ultrasonic detection method has certain limitation.
In order to solve the limitations of the conventional ultrasonic contact detection, the research on the non-contact ultrasonic detection is forced to be in the eyebrow and eyelash. Air-coupled ultrasonic detection, electromagnetic-coupled ultrasonic detection and laser ultrasonic detection are non-contact ultrasonic detection technologies which exist at present. Air-coupled ultrasound uses the principle of matching acoustic impedances between air and an ultrasound source, but has a narrow frequency band and low matching efficiency, and can only perform nondestructive inspection on defects between thin plates, thereby causing deterioration in inspection efficiency and sensitivity. The electromagnetic coupling ultrasonic detection has great limitation on detecting samples, and can only detect ferromagnetic materials. Therefore, the laser ultrasonic detection has obvious advantages compared with the two methods, and the characteristics can effectively solve the above problems.
The laser ultrasonic detection technology is taken as a cross discipline technology, well combines the advantages of the ultrasound technology and the laser technology, applies the strong penetrating power of the traditional ultrasonic wave and the non-contact property of the optical detection, and realizes the nondestructive detection of the detected sample by exciting and receiving the ultrasonic wave by the laser.
The traditional laser ultrasonic detection technology can only detect the defect of the sub-millimeter size on the metal surface generally, but when the defect becomes the micrometer scale, the traditional laser ultrasonic detection technology is difficult to accurately position the defect. SAFT is an ultrasonic detection technique developed by synthetic aperture radar that can significantly improve the imaging quality. The SAFT is utilized to carry out laser ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and the resolution and contrast of laser ultrasonic imaging can be improved.
However, the conventional laser ultrasonic SAFT detection technology adopts single-point excitation and single-point scanning, and has the disadvantages of slow scanning speed and long consumption time.
