Non-destructive testing - Thermographic testing - Active thermography with laser excitation
This document specifies a method and establishes guidelines for non-destructive testing using active thermography with laser excitation.
Active thermography with laser excitation is mainly applicable, but not limited, to different materials (e.g. composites, metals, ceramics) and to:
- the detection of surface-breaking discontinuities, particularly cracks;
- the detection of discontinuities located just below the surface or below coatings with an efficiency that diminishes rapidly with a few mm depth;
- the detection of disbonds and delamination parallel to the examined surface;
- the measurement of thermal material properties, like thermal diffusivity;
- the measurement of coating thickness.
The requirements for the equipment, for the verification of the system, for the surface condition of the test object, for the scanning conditions, for the recording, the processing and the interpretation of the results are specified. This document does not apply to the definition of acceptance criteria.
Active thermography with laser excitation can be applied in industrial production as well as in maintenance and repair (vehicle parts, engine parts, power plant, aerospace, etc.).
Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Thermografische Prüfung - Aktive Thermografie mit Laser-Anregung
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren sowie Leitlinien für zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen mittels aktiver Thermo¬grafie mit Laser Anregung fest.
Aktive Thermografie mit Laser Anregung ist hauptsächlich, aber nicht ausschließlich, auf verschiedene Werkstoffe (z. B. Verbundstoffe, Metalle, Keramiken) und auf Folgendes anwendbar:
- die Erkennung von zur Oberfläche hin offenen Unregelmäßigkeiten, insbesondere von Rissen;
- die Erkennung von Unregelmäßigkeiten unmittelbar unter der Oberfläche oder unter Beschichtungen mit einem Wirkungsgrad, der bereits in einer Tiefe von wenigen Millimetern schnell abnimmt;
- die Erkennung von Ablösungen und Schichtablösung parallel zur untersuchten Oberfläche;
- die Messung von thermischen Werkstoffeigenschaften, wie z. B. der thermischen Diffusivität;
- die Messung der Beschichtungsdicke.
Es werden die Anforderungen an die Geräte, die Verifizierung des Systems, die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit des Prüfgegenstands, die Abtastbedingungen, die Aufzeichnung sowie an die Verarbeitung und Auswertung der Ergebnisse festgelegt. Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für die Festlegung von Annahmekriterien.
Aktive Thermografie mit Laser Anregung kann bei der industriellen Fertigung sowie bei Wartung und Reparaturen (von Fahrzeugteilen, Motorteilen, Kraftwerken, in der Luft und Raumfahrtindustrie usw.) angewendet werden.
Essais non destructifs - Analyse thermographique - Thermographie active avec excitation laser
Le présent document spécifie une méthode et définit les lignes directrices relatives aux essais non destructifs par thermographie active avec excitation laser.
La thermographie active avec excitation laser est principalement utilisée pour différents matériaux (par exemple, composites, métaux, céramiques) sans toutefois s’y limiter et pour :
- la détection des discontinuités débouchantes, notamment des fissures ;
- la détection des discontinuités situées juste en dessous de la surface ou sous des revêtements, avec une efficacité qui diminue rapidement sur une profondeur de quelques millimètres ;
- la détection des décollements et délaminations parallèles à la surface examinée ;
- le mesurage des propriétés thermiques des matériaux, telles que la diffusivité thermique ;
- le mesurage de l’épaisseur d’un revêtement.
Les exigences applicables à l’appareillage, à la vérification du système, à l’état de surface de la pièce à contrôler, aux conditions du balayage laser, à l’enregistrement, au traitement et à l’interprétation des résultats sont spécifiées. Le présent document ne s’applique pas à la définition des critères d’acceptation.
La thermographie active avec excitation laser peut être utilisée en production industrielle, ainsi que pour la maintenance et la réparation (pièces de véhicule, pièces de moteur, centrale électrique, aérospatiale, etc.).
Neporušitvene preiskave - Termografsko preskušanje - Aktivna termografija z laserskim vzbujanjem
Ta dokument določa smernice in specifikacije za neporušitvene preiskave z uporabo aktivne termografije z laserskim vzbujanjem.
Aktivna termografija z laserskim vzbujanjem se med drugim v glavnem uporablja za različne materiale (npr. kompozite, kovino, keramiko) ter za:
– odkrivanje površinskih prekinitev, predvsem razpok;
– odkrivanje prekinitev tik pod površino ali pod prevlekami, pri čemer se učinkovitost hitro zmanjšuje z globino nekaj milimetrov;
– odkrivanje odlepitev in razslojenosti vzporedno s površino, ki se preiskuje;
– merjenje lastnosti toplotnih materialov, kot je toplotna razprševalnost;
– merjenje debeline prevleke.
Določene so zahteve za opremo, preverjanje sistema, stanje površine dela, ki se preskuša, pogoje skeniranja, snemanje, obdelavo in interpretacijo rezultatov. Merila sprejemljivosti niso opredeljena.
Aktivno termografijo z laserskim vzbujanjem je mogoče uporabiti v industrijski proizvodnji ter pri vzdrževanju in popravilih (deli vozil, deli motorjev, elektrarne, aeronavtika itd.).
