Abstract Sonic infrared (SIR) imaging is an original hybrid nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique that has seen rapid acceptance in the industry. A single-tone ultrasonic wave in the 15–40 kHz range is induced to the specimen under inspection through a high-power ultrasonic plastic welder. Heating duration is equal to the ultrasonic excitation duration. In a previous article, an analytical model for depth profiling using SIR NDE was presented. According to the proposed model, material thermal properties, defect size and ultrasonic excitation duration influence defect characterization and contribute to the total temperature-time curves. In this paper, heating duration effect on the quantitative estimation of flaws using sonic infrared nondestructive evaluation was investigated.

In this study, failure pressure prediction was conducted in a pipeline with localized corrosion in base metal (BM), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and welding bead (WB) by finite element (FE) analysis. In the gas pipeline industry, there are methods (B31G, RESTRENGH, Shell, DNV, PCORR, and Fitnet FFS) and authors' approaches (Choi and Cronin) to determine the failure pressure. However, one disadvantage of these methods is that their equations do not consider damage corrosion at the HAZ or WB. They consider corrosion only in the BM. The corrosion shape is rectangular with a radius at the edges. In this study, the corrosion defect depth (d) was varied. The corrosion defect length (L) and the corrosion defect width (W) were equal. A type of rectangular corrosion defect with a radius at the edges in the longitudinal and circumferential directions was proposed. True stress–strain curves for BM, HAZ, and WB of an API 5 L X52 were introduced in the FE program. The results show that the pressure decreases as d, L, and W increase. This is because the damage corrosion is more severe as it grows, which causes the failure pressure to decrease.

Pulsed Thermography is an advanced NDE technique which is becoming popular due to fast inspection rate, non contact nature and it gives full field image. Pulsed Thermography is successfully applied for defect detection, defect depth estimation, coating thickness evaluation and delamination detection in coatings but it is limited for evaluation of subsurface defects (of the order of few mm). In this paper we discuss the application of Pulsed Thermography for defect quantification and effect of defect size on it in AISI 316 grade SS which are important structural materials used in nuclear and other industries. Log First Derivative method is considered for defect depth quantification and the results are compared with Finite Difference Modeling carried out using ThermoCalc 6L software.
