Porous metal backing for high-temperature ultrasonic transducers

Résumé

Improving the performance of high-temperature ultrasonic transducers is a goal of major importance in many industrial applications. To this aim, we propose to use porous metals that support high temperatures as backings. Thus, the acoustic properties of stainless steel and porous stainless steel with porosity of 25% and 35% are determined at ambient temperature and up to 400 °C. Over the temperature range, the longitudinal wave velocity variation is comprised between 5% and 6% in the porous metals. We find that temperature does not significantly affect the attenuation in the material. The pulse-echo response and frequency response of a LiNbO3-based transducer with a porous backing are simulated using a one dimensional electroacoustic model. These simulations, compared to those of a reference transducer, show that the axial resolution with such a design allows these transducers to be used for imaging and/or Non-Destructive Testing and evaluation at high temperature.
