Definitions
- magnetic flaw detection methods such as an eddy current flaw detection method and a leakage magnetic flux flaw detection method are known as methods for nondestructively detecting flaws existing in a material to be inspected such as a steel plate and a steel pipe.
- the eddy current flaw detection method is a flaw detection method that utilizes the fact that an eddy current induced by applying an alternating magnetic field to a material to be inspected is disturbed by a flaw.
- the leakage magnetic flux flaw detection method when a magnetic field is applied to a material to be inspected and magnetized, if there is a flaw that blocks the magnetic flux generated in the material to be inspected, the magnetic flux is generated at the site where the flaw is present. This is a flaw detection method that utilizes leakage into the surface space.
- a flaw signal to be detected (of a flaw detection signal detected by a predetermined detection sensor, when the direction of the magnetic field to be applied and the direction in which the magnetic field is applied forms a specific angle
- the amplitude of the signal obtained from the site where the flaw is present is maximized.
- the amplitude of the flaw signal in the leakage magnetic flux flaw detection method is maximized when the direction of the applied magnetic field (the direction of the magnetic flux in the material to be inspected) and the direction in which the flaw extends are orthogonal, and the direction of the magnetic field is the direction in which the flaw extends. Decreases as the position deviates from the direction perpendicular to.
- a rotating magnetic field in which the direction of the magnetic field changes from time to time is applied to the material to be inspected so that the direction in which the flaw extends can be detected (so that a flaw signal having a detectable amplitude can be obtained).
- a magnetic flaw detection method for detecting flaws extending in various directions based on a flaw detection signal generated by the rotating magnetic field has been proposed (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-131285).
- an exciting coil as shown in FIG. 1 is used.
- the exciting coil 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes two exciting coils (X) arranged such that the winding directions of the conducting wires are orthogonal to each other (therefore, the generated magnetic fields are orthogonal to each other) and the center positions coincide with each other.
- a direction excitation coil 1 and a Y direction excitation coil 2) are provided. Then, the phase of the AC excitation current energized in each of the excitation coils 1 and 2 is shifted by 90 ° (for example, the X-direction excitation coil 1 is energized with a cosine wave excitation current, and the Y-direction excitation coil 2 is sinusoidal.
- the flaw signal is synchronized with an alternating excitation current. For this reason, by detecting the flaw detection signal synchronously using the excitation current as a reference signal and extracting a signal synchronized with the excitation current, it is possible to extract a signal that cannot have a high S / N ratio from the flaw detection signal.
- the AC signal extracted by the synchronous detection is smoothed by the low-pass filter in order to increase the ratio (S / N ratio) between the scratch signal and the noise generated randomly without being synchronized with the excitation current. Is common.
- the AC signal extracted by synchronous detection is smoothed for each unit region corresponding to about two to three periods of the reference signal (excitation current).
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a Lissajous waveform indicating that the flaw signal and the lift-off fluctuation noise have a phase difference.
- the flaw signal phase ⁇ d and the lift-off fluctuation noise phase ⁇ l are generally different.
- the XY coordinate system is rotated so that the lift-off fluctuation noise is along the X axis, and the signal component in the Y ′ axis direction in the rotated X′Y ′ coordinate system is used as the flaw detection signal.
- the phase analysis method it can be expected that the influence of lift-off fluctuation noise on the flaw detection ability can be suppressed.
- the phase analysis method is not limited to the method of rotating the XY coordinate system of the Lissajous waveform as described above, but only the amplitude of the signal component having a specific phase in the Lissajous waveform is evaluated and has other phases.
- a method of removing the amplitude of the signal component from the evaluation target is also included.
- the conventional magnetic flaw detection method using a rotating magnetic field has the following problems due to the use of a single-frequency excitation current. (1) Since the effect of synchronous detection cannot be obtained sufficiently, the flaw detection ability (S / N ratio) may be reduced. (2) It is impossible to estimate flaw angle information (in which direction it extends). (3) A general phase analysis method cannot be used as a technique for improving the flaw detection ability (S / N ratio) in the eddy current flaw detection method. (4) The continuity of the flaw cannot be accurately evaluated.
- the amplitude of the flaw signal detected is maximized.
- the amplitude of the flaw signal becomes zero when the deviation angle in the direction of the magnetic field from the direction in which the amplitude of the flaw signal is maximum exceeds ⁇ ⁇ °.
- the direction of the magnetic field rotates 360 ° during one period of the exciting current.
- ⁇ 20.
- the amplitude of the flaw signal in the leakage magnetic flux flaw detection method is maximized when the direction of the magnetic field to be applied and the extending direction are perpendicular to each other.
- FIG. 4 is a graph showing a time-series relationship between the excitation current waveform and the signal waveform under the above assumption.
- FIG. 5 shows a state in which a flaw detection signal including a flaw signal is synchronously detected using an excitation current as a reference signal, and a flaw signal extracted by the synchronous detection is smoothed for each unit region corresponding to two cycles of the reference signal.
- FIG. 5A is a graph showing a flaw signal waveform
- FIG. 5A shows a flaw signal waveform of flaw A
- FIG. 5B shows a flaw signal waveform of flaw B; 4 and 5, the waveform of noise included in the flaw detection signal is not shown.
- the excitation current supplied to the X-direction excitation coil 1 or the excitation current supplied to the Y-direction excitation coil 2 shown in FIG. 1 is used as a reference signal.
- the flaw signal obtained from flaws A and B has a shorter cycle than any excitation current. That is, since the period of the flaw signal and the period of the reference signal do not coincide with each other, the effect of synchronous detection (extracting a high S / N ratio from the flaw detection signal) cannot be sufficiently obtained, and flaw detection is performed. There is a concern that the performance may be reduced (problem (1) described above).
- the flaw signal extracted by the synchronous detection is smoothed for each unit region corresponding to two periods of the reference signal, as shown in FIG. 5, the phase information (flaw angle information of the flaw signal after smoothing) ) Will be lost, and for both flaws A and B, the flaw signal after smoothing will have the same DC signal waveform. That is, the angle information of the flaw cannot be estimated (problem (2) described above).
- a method that evaluates flaw continuity by grasping the two-dimensional distribution state of flaws from flaw detection images.
- a flaw detection signal (a grayscale image or a color image) obtained by imaging a flaw detection signal including a flaw signal or by imaging a signal obtained by binarizing the flaw detection signal with a predetermined threshold value.

- FIG. 6 the flaw detection image obtained by scanning the detection sensor on the inspection material S (flaw detection image obtained by imaging the signal obtained by binarizing the flaw detection signal with a predetermined threshold value)
- FIG. the pixel group corresponding to the flaw candidate site in the material S to be inspected, which is discretized according to the A / D conversion speed, the scanning speed, etc. of the detection sensor, that is, the four pixel groups a1 corresponding to the flaw A
- the flaw detection image is formed based only on the amplitude information of the flaw detection signal, it is based only on the distribution state of the pixel group corresponding to the flaw candidate site. Therefore, continuity must be evaluated. Therefore, according to the configuration of the image processing filter or the like for evaluating the continuity of the flaws, as shown in FIG. 8, the pixel groups a1 to a4 and b1 are one flaw A, and the pixel groups b2 and n are 1 There is a risk of accidental evaluation that the damage is B.
- the length of flaw A is overestimated over the actual length, while the length of flaw B is underestimated over the actual length and corresponds to the noise source N.
- the pixel n may be mistakenly recognized as a flaw. For this reason, there exists a possibility that the harmfulness of a flaw cannot be evaluated correctly.

While the magnetic field generated by (and the eddy current induced by this magnetic field) predominantly acts on the material to be inspected, the second current having a low frequency mainly affects the direction of the generated magnetic field (and eddy current). It functions to rotate in the material to be inspected. This is because the induced electromotive force generated in the material to be inspected is proportional to the frequency of the excitation current.
