摘要

Dissimilar Metal Welds (DMW) made of nickel based alloys are widely present in some nuclear power plants at the intersection between the main pipe lines and large components such as the pressure vessel, steam generators and pressurizers. Ultrasonic NonDestructive Testing techniques (NDT) are used in order to maintain the integrity of the primary circuit and detect defects such as Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). Nevertheless, disturbances such as beam splitting and skewing may occur due to the anisotropic and inhomogeneous properties of the welding material. These disturbances affect the detection, localization and sizing of possible weld discontinuities. Numerical simulation tools can help to understand these physical phenomena and optimize ultrasonic NDT. A novel ray tracing algorithm has been recently developed in the CIVA platform in order to evaluate the propagation of elastic waves in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media. Based on the solving of two systems of linear ordinary differential equations of the first order, this model allows the evaluation of the ray trajectories and the travel-time, and the computation of the amplitude along a ray tube and in its vicinity. In this approach, the considered medium has to be represented by a smooth description of the elastic properties. This paper presents the work made as part of a collaborative program between CRIEPI and CEA. The ray-based model has been evaluated on a DMW mock-up described thanks to a smooth description of the crystallographic orientation of its constitutive grains. Simulated results of the transmitted beam and the detection of notches located in the weld and the buttering have been compared to experimental measurements performed on this mock-up with phased-array probes.
