摘　　要：厚壁管道是火电机组四大管道系统的核心部件,将超声导波技术应用于厚壁管道的无损检测显得十分重要。首先确定厚壁管道检测的激励方式,优化选取适合厚壁管道检测的0.5MHz探头和楔形块角度为60°的斜探头组合。通过改变斜探头与外壁轴向缺陷之间周向距离,在一定范围内仍可检测到缺陷回波,且接收到的周向回波幅值变化不大,表明周向导波具有对厚壁管道进行无损检测的潜力。将斜探头激励位置轴向平移20mm,使斜探头周向激励恰好不能覆盖轴向缺陷,则缺陷不能检测,得出周向导波在厚壁管道周向传播时具有指向性。该研究结果为研究厚壁管道中周向导波传播特性研究,以及利用周向导波技术对厚壁管道进行无损检测奠定了一定的基础。Thick wall pipes are the core component of so called ＂four pipe＂ system for thermal power. It is important to apply circumferential guided wave technique to nondestructive testing of thick wall pipes. Firstly, the excitation method for thick wall pipes inspection needs to be determined. The combination of probe with 0. 5 MHz excitation frequency and wedge with 60° angle is the optimized selection. By adjusting the circumferential distance between the angle beam probe and the axial defects of the outer wail, the defect echo was still detected within a certain range, and the received circumferential echo amplitude fluctuated unconspicuouse, which indicates that circumferential guided waves have the potentials to perform nondestructive testing for thick wall pipes. Through translating the angle beam probe 20ram along the axial direction, the axial defects are not covered by circumferential excitation of angle beam probe, so the defects are not detected. This indicates that the propagation of circumferential guided waves around the thick wall pipes is directional. Above results provide a basis for the characteristics of circumferential guided waves around the thick wall pipes and nondestructive inspection of thick wall pipes based on circumferential guided waves.
