Abstract

Magnetic hysteresis loops of a nickel strip and a Fe-Co alloy strip, which have been used in magnetostrictive strip type guided wave transducers for long range ultrasonic testing of pipelines, were measured and then magnetic property effects of a strip on transducer sensitivity were analyzed. The sensitivity of an optimized Fe-Co strip transducer was superior to that of the nickel strip transducer by a factor of about 30. It was shown that this was mainly attributed to the differences in remanence magnetization and coercivity of the two magnetostrictive materials.

파이프라인의 원거리 초음파검사를 위한 자왜 스트립형의 비틀림 모드 도파 변환기에 널리 사용되는 니켈 스트립과 철 코발트합금 스트립의 자기이력곡선을 측정하고 스트립의 자기적 특성이 변환기의 감도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 최적화된 철 코발트합금 변환기의 감도는 니켈 변환기의 그것보다 약 30 배 정도로 우수하였다. 이는 두 자왜물질의 잔류자화 및 보자력의 차이에 주로 기인함이 밝혀졌다.
