3.18.2 Basic Theory of Operation A magnetic field is applied to the test piece and the EMAT circuit is placed in the magnetic field. A high-power AC toneburst is driven through the EMAT. This tone burst passes into the test piece and produces eddy currents. The eddy currents interact with the static magnetic field to produce stresses in the metal, generating ultrasonic waves. The frequency of the current, the shape of the EMAT transducer, its position in the magnetic field, and the thickness of the test piece combine to determine the mode of ultrasound generated. The wave mode and frequency determine the type of analysis to be performed. With Lorenz force generation, vertical and horizontal shear waves are typically generated. With magnetic materials, magnetostrictive forces, which have certain benefits compared to Lorenz forces, can also be generated and used to advantage. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
3.18.3 Recent Applications And Developments • Invention of a revolutionary thickness gauge for detecting remaining wall thickness to less than 0.1" for rapid scanning of sheets or pipe. The gauge performed well in an international blind testing at Southwest Research Institute. • Automatic Butt Weld Inspection System (ABWIS®). As part of the production of steel, welders create flash butt welds in large coils of plate.These welds are then scanned with an EMAT system to analyze the validity of the welds. • A flaw detection/thickness gauge for oil field tubular goods. This technology is gaining rapid acceptance as a vastly improved NDE method over existing technology. It has performed well in Arctic conditions at 20° below zero as well as in Saudi Arabian deserts.
