=2θ2-θ3-θ4 …(v)
従って、鋳造棒(S)の全領域を検査するための配置角度(α)の取り得る範囲は、上記(ii)式を満たし、上記(iii)式で表される最小値(αmin)から(v)式で表される最大値(αmax)までの範囲となる。即ち、下記の2つの式を満足すように2つのフェイズドアレイ型プローブ(1)(2)を配置すれば、断面円形の鋳造棒(S)の全領域を検査することができる。
2×(180°-2θ2+θ3)≦α≦2θ2-θ3-θ4
次に、上記各式における記号に代入すべき数値について説明する。
但し、OP間の距離(x1)の実測が困難である場合は、(x1)がフェイズドアレイ型プローブの大きさ(x2)とx1≒x2の関係にあることから、実測した(x2)により下記(vi’)により(θ3)を求めることができる。
前記不感帯(1B)の大きさを表すOPの中心角の1/2(θ4)は、不感帯の大きさを表すものであり、実測によって求めることができる。
〔2つのフェイズドアレイ型プローブの配置角度の例〕
半径(r)が215mmの鋳造棒(S)の超音波探傷検査において、フェイズドアレイ型プローブ(1)(2)の有効斜角角度(θ2)=40°、フェイズドアレイ型プローブ(1)(2)の大きさ(x2)が28.7mm、不感帯の大きさ(θ4)が17.5°のとき、(vi’)式より(θ3)=7.6°が算出される。
〔超音波探傷検査装置〕
(第1実施形態)
図4Aおよび図4Bに示す超音波探傷検査装置(10)は、水槽(11)と2つのフェイズドアレイ型プローブ(1)(2)とを備え、鋳造棒(S)を移動させながら検査を行うものである。
第1実施形態の超音波探傷検査装置(10)は水槽を用いるものであって、鋳造棒の水没が容易で十分な量の接触媒質を確保できる点が有利である。
〔一貫連続運転における超音波探傷検査〕
本発明の超音波探傷検査方法は、鋳造直後の連続鋳造棒の検査のみならず、連続鋳造棒の切断、熱処理、ピーリング等の種々の工程を経て出荷形態となるまでの一貫連続運転における任意の工程間において実施できる。さらには、鋳造後に鍛造を実施し、連続鋳造から鍛造品の製造までを一貫して行う際に、鋳造直後、または任意の工程間においても超音波探傷検査を行うことができる。
(図6A)
水平連続鋳造した長尺の連続鋳造棒を複数の短尺材に切断し、短尺材に熱処理を施して均質化した後に、ピーリングを行って表層部の黒皮を除去する。黒皮を除去した短尺材は、要すれば外観検査を行った後、出荷する。あるいは、外観検査後の短尺材に対して、鍛造工程を実施する。前記鍛造工程には、切断(予備成形品の製作)、予備加熱、鍛造成形が含まれている。
(図6B)
水平連続鋳造した長尺の連続鋳造棒を複数の短尺材に切断し、ピーリングを行って表層部の黒皮を除去する。黒皮を除去した短尺材に均質化のための熱処理を行い、さらに予熱して鍛造工程を実施する。
(図6C)
水平連続鋳造した長尺の連続鋳造棒を複数の短尺材に切断し、均質化のための熱処理を行った後に、ピーリングを行って表層部の黒皮を除去する。黒皮を除去した短尺材に対して鍛造工程を実施する。
