This research aims to inspect the defects and discontinuities in steel billet by
ultrasonic detector. Straight beam probe used to detect a lot number of imported steel
billets that clearly have internal defects.
The results showed the possibility
of initial detection by straight beam probe, and
initial defining the types of defects such as, micro and macro cracks, shrinkage defect,
blow holing, inclusion, porosity and others type of internal defects.
The experiments showed that if the necessity is defining the size of defects, this
requires angle beam probe in addition to straight beam probe.
The present work, aims to inspect by ultrasonic method numbers of imported steel
billets, which cause stopping and breaking in the production – lines.
The inspection was done by using ultrasonic detector,(echo – pulse method), a
straight – beam pr
obe was used as a transducer and receiver, at the same time.
The results of inspection showed the possibility of accurate defect determination in
steel billets, and also showed a good agreement between the experimental results and the
number of stopping and breaking in production in factory, and also the necessity to use that
inspection method in the imported billets which cause the continuous breaking in the
production – lines.
