ECO CND RDT project
As part of the ECOTECH 2009, the ECO CND ultrasonic project guided wave ultrasonic NDT, NDT precursors New Environmental Technologies has been selected by the National Research Agency (ANR). The coordinator of the study, which lasts 36 months is IXTREM with a partner, the Laboratory for systems integration and technology LIST - CEA, the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology IEMN - CNRS and HOLO3 and the Institute of Welding.
Ecological dimension
Penetrant and magnetic testing techniques use significiant amounts of organic products and generate emissions and waste volumes.
Penetrant testing, France
It also appears that the penetrant and magnetic testing present significant risks, whether electromagnetic, chemical, electrical, health operators. Working conditions can be difficult, under ultraviolet light in the darkness, noise, vibration ... Added to high rates of control and significant weight equipment to handle.
Project Objectives
The project aims to replace these techniques by a laser generation of ultrasound, coupled with a receiving EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer). The scientific program includes modeling, the creation of a laboratory demonstrator type laser / EMAT equipment and next-generation phased array TOFD for weld inspection, the platform for 3D imaging of defects and the qualification process .
