Development of a System for Detecting Weld Failures

Abstract

Considering the possibility that from the area of electronics can be provided feasible solutions in the field of non-destructive testing, this chapter present a prototype and methodology that allows energize an ultrasound transducer. This system is used to evaluate for detecting weld failures at the junctions of metallic parts. Subsequently, in order to validate the design quality of that source, a computer system that allows control of a card developed ultrasound. Finally, it is implemented the ultrasonic imaging by time of flight diffraction technique, in order to obtain an objective comparison methodology to both systems.
