Background
In the fields of aerospace, petrochemical, automotive manufacturing, material processing, and the like, there are a large number of metal tubular and plate-like structures. In the using process, under the action of factors such as surface oxidation, stress concentration and the like, some weak parts on the surfaces of the pipe and the plate can generate defects such as cracks, corrosion and the like, so that partial failure of the structure is caused. Therefore, the method for detecting the pipeline and the plate efficiently, quickly and accurately by adopting a certain nondestructive detection technology is an effective method for ensuring industrial safety.
The ultrasonic surface wave is mainly concentrated on the surface and the near surface of the test piece, can effectively detect defects in the areas, is slow in attenuation and single in wave mode, and is widely used for ultrasonic nondestructive detection. The electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer can effectively excite surface waves, has the characteristics of no need of coupling and surface treatment compared with the traditional piezoelectric transducer, and is suitable for occasions such as high-speed, high-temperature and on-line detection. At present, the method has been applied to the fields of petrochemical industry, processing and manufacturing and the like to a certain extent, and has great development potential. The electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer consists of a coil and a permanent magnet, and can excite surface waves by using the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer with a zigzag coil structure. Because the energy conversion efficiency of the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is low, the received signal is weak and the signal-to-noise ratio is low. Generally, after the power performance of the excitation device reaches the upper limit, the conventional way to improve the strength of the echo signal is to increase the frequency of the excitation signal or the number of coil turns, but this increases the time width of the signal and loses the time resolution. By adopting the pulse compression technology, the signal strength and the signal to noise ratio can be improved, and the signal resolution can be ensured. Conventional pulse compression is a signal processing technique using the matched filtering principle in the time domain. In electromagnetic ultrasonic surface waves, there are technical possibilities to achieve spatial pulse compression in combination with the special spatial distribution of the coils.
