Introduction
Interpretation of the core content of the standard
| Version Comparison | TB/T 1558.2-2010 | TB/T 1558.2-2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of application | Ferritic steel only | Newly added aluminum alloy welds |
| Detection technology | Traditional ultrasonic | Added phased array detection(Appendix B) |
| Test block requirements | RB-1/RB-2 | Newly added RB-1AL/RB-2AL aluminum alloy test blocks |
| Acceptance level | Refer to GB/T 29712 | Refer to the level correspondence of detailed technologies 1-4(Table 4-5) |
Key technology innovation
1. Phased array detection technology: Multi-angle electronic scanning can detect complex geometric welds, and the detection efficiency is improved by 40%. Typical application case: CRRC Sifang EMU bogie weld detection.
2. Acoustic energy transmission correction: The material attenuation difference is calculated by the formula ΔV=H1-H2-Δ1-Δ2. When the loss difference is >2dB, it must be compensated.
Key points for implementation
- Before testing, the CSK-IA test block must be calibrated, and the refraction angle error must be ≤2°
- When testing curved workpieces, the probe matching gap must be ≤0.5mm, otherwise the bottom surface of the probe needs to be ground
- Sensitivity calibration cycle: Every 4 hours or at the end of the test
Standard evolution analysis
This standard has gone through iterations from the 1984 version, the 2010 version to the 2018 version:
- 1984 version: Establishment of the basic detection framework
- 2010 version: Introduction of DAC curve technology
- 2018 version: Breakthrough addition of phased array detection to meet the detection needs of new materials for high-speed rail aluminum alloy bodies
