Evaluation of Advanced Ultrasonic Testing Techniques for Diffusion-Bonded Titanium Alloy Aircraft Structures.

Abstract

dvanced Ultrasonic Testing Techniques for Diffusion-Bonded Titanium Alloy Aircraft Structures.Technical rept.,Brockelman,Robert H. ;AMMRC-TR-73-16DA-1-T-062105-A-331(*diffusion bonding, *nondestructive testing), (*titanium alloys, diffusion bonding), (*helicopter rotors, titanium alloys), bonded joints, microstructure, metallography, defects(materials), ultrasonic properties, spectroscopytitanium alloy 6al 4v, *ultrasonic testsThe report describes the initial effort to develop effective nondestructive test methods for diffusion-bonded titanium aircraft components. It was demonstrated that several ultrasonic techniques have the potential for overcoming the extraneous background scattering noise normally encountered in titanium structures thereby improving the sensitivity to defect detection at the bond joint. The ultrasonic techniques examined were high resolution flaw detection, spectroscopy and compound scan. (Author)
