Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation and Life Predication for Ceramic Parts of Engine
高频超声技术用于陶瓷零部件的无损评价和寿命预测

The longitudinal and transverse transducers having plane and curved surfaces with 20-100MHzfrequency were planed and prepared. The acoustic parameters and defect size within ceramic parts of engine were determined by means of directly coupling mode. the creditability of measurement was improved by alternately using longitudinal (susceptible to pore) and transverse (satisfying with measurement of crack) transducers. As a result of numerous measurements the relational curves of "distance- amplitude-normal" of defects were established for searching the size of defects within materials measured. On the basis of determination, according to the theory of fracture mechanics, the quality evaluation and classification of ceramic parts can be made for judgment of pass/abandonment.
