Hi all
Training in UT of welds.
Anyone here do this - ultrasonic'ing welds?
Finding it a bit challenging and absorbing. On a course now.
So far, with test plates, broadly seem to be able to identify there is a defect there - locate it lengthways from beginning to end - and state where it is in the height of the weld with some idea of how tall it is.
However on finer points of drawing it together so can classify
- what type of defect it is
- where it is in the cross-section
- how wide it is in cross-section
- etc as you'd need to say "it's a lack of root fusion full root-gap about
3mm high" or "it's a 4mm high lack of sidewall fusion on the LHS starting at about 10mm depth" or "it's a slag inclusion about 3mm wide and high at (x, y)" - not got anything like there yetAny got hints for someone trying to find their way in?
