The propagation of ultrasound in an austenitic weld
The propagation of ultrasound through an austenitic weld is investigated experimentally as well as in a numerical simulation. The weld is insonified at normal incidence to the fusion line with a longitudinal contact transducer. In order to experimentally trace the ultrasound through the weld, slices of different thicknesses from the original weld have been fabricated.
Through-transmission A-scans have then been produced for each weld slice and compared with the corresponding numerical simulation. A comparison of the direction of ultrasound propagation through the weld for the two approaches shows quite good agreement. However, attenuation due to scattering at grain boundaries in the weld is poorly modelled in the simulation.
In order to improve this, a better model of the weld is needed.
