Details
The introduction of Intermodal Total Focusing Method (TFMi) in the non-destructive testing industry has advanced weld inspection proficiency globally. Since its launch in 2021, TFMi has introduced intermodal imaging results shared throughout the PA-UT sector. This recent technique opens the door to high geometry fidelity imaging. The advanced imaging field is always evolving, but research in NDT for superior imaging performance has not stopped improving and gathering more capabilities for existing PA-UT strategies.
In the NDT field, weld integrity assessments cover various testing methods. Among these, ultrasound testing stands out as a common volumetric testing solution for welding applications. Phased Array and conventional beam evaluations remain basic choices. However, recent advancements in the Total Focusing Method (TFM) have introduced new processing algorithms that significantly enhance imaging quality for different intricate scenarios.
TFMi merges multiple modes within a single image, leading to the hypothesis that it can provide superior geometry assessments. This study focuses on the superior characterization performance of TFMi for various types of weld defects and compares it with other traditional ultrasound testing data. The studied data is derived from inputs by numerous independent experts, ensuring fewer sampling errors and minimal influence from human factors.
Ultimately, the outcomes of these various welding scenarios will offer valuable insights and best practices for utilising TFMiTM to effectively enhance evaluation imaging.
