A co-operative project between AB Achema and Ultrasound Institute
The objective of the project
To develop ultrasonic system for journal-bearing’s non-destructive testing. The testing principle is based on the influence of the adhesion quality on the amplitude of the ultrasonic signal, reflected from the interface between babbitt layer and main metal.
Main features of the developed bearings NDT system
- Completely automatic non-destructive testing;
- Complete acquisition of ultrasonic signals during testing process;
- The possibility of computerised analysis and storing of the test data;
- Convenient NDT reporting;
- Operating frequency 5-10 MHz.
