Determining the Inspection Grid for Automated Ultrasonic Testing of Large Forgings

Conference Paper:
DGZfP Jahrestagung 05/2013, At Dresden, Germany; 2013
DOI: 10.13140/2.1.4391.5843

Large forgings for turbine and generator rotors are characterized by very low ultrasonic attenuation. Due to “phantom indications,” only low pulse repetition frequencies are often possible. Consequent...
