Abstract

Ultrasonic probes of 400kHz, 1MHz were fabricated using PZT-5Z plates. Epoxy was used for backing layer materials onthe plates. Nondestructive Test was carried using these probes. Pulse lobe width of impulse response was reduced 15.4% compare 1MHz with 400kHz and 96.6% compare 3MHz with 400kHz. The attenuation in aluminum was 2.05[dB/m] at 400kHz, 4/91[dB/m] at 1MHz, 7.35[dB/m] at 3HMz. Hole detection error of the first hole was 22.4% at 1HMz, 9.% at 3HMz, The second hole 11.6% at 1HMz, 4.7% at 3HMz. In the result of experiment of the hole detection error and resolution, 3HMz probe was the best among them.
