Question

Explain how flaws (or defects) in a metal block can be detected by using ultrasound.

Open in App
Solution

Ultrasound is passed through the metal block which has to be tested. In case of flaws, ultrasound does not pass through it but is reflected back. A detector on the other side of the block does not receive all the transmitted waves and hence the flaw is detected.
