Pre-Shipment Tests of an Automated Ultrasonic Testing System for Round Billets Completed

Ultrakraft JSC has carried out pre-shipment tests of an automated ultrasonic testing system for round billets intended for a forging and pressing complex.

The system is designed for automated non-destructive testing of round forgings made of steel and alloys.

The equipment performs automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) of billets in the forging and pressing shop, including the end sections (provided the ends are free of burrs), in order to detect unacceptable internal defects in the base metal.

Key characteristics of the test object:

• cylindrical forgings made of steel and alloys;
• diameter: 150 to 700 mm;
• length: 2,000 to 12,500 mm.

Testing is performed in accordance with the following standards:

• GOST 24507;
• GOST 21120;
• OST 108.109.01-92;
• GOST R 50.05.05-2018.
