Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、保温材の上から配管を全検査する技術と、これを用いた革新的な自動検査ロボットを提案する。この検査技術は鉄鋼配管自身の磁歪効果を利用し、長距離伝搬する超音波ガイド波を電磁的に送受信する技術をベースとし、これにより検出した欠陥を、渦流探傷により精査することで、非接触で保温材下の腐食等欠陥を検出する。実施計画として、令和4年度に、非接触ガイド波送受信技術の開発・評価、渦電流検査技術の開発・評価、を行う。令和5年度に開発した装置モジュール化とロボットへの導入、を行って自動検査ロボットプロトタイプを開発し、令和6年度に保温材下配管への適用・装置評価を実施する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a new high-precision inspection technology that can inspect entire target without contact, and to develop a prototype of an automatic inspection robot that can acquire information on the longitudinal and shortitudinal position and depth of defects by incorporating the inspection target into a robot that can move. First, it was shown that a guided wave test can be performed on a magnetic sample using several electromagnet pairs, in which a U-shaped electromagnet for excitation and a U-shaped electromagnet for excitation are arranged orthogonally, and that reflected waves from the artificial slit can be measured. These devices were mounted on a moving cart and it was shown that it is capable of non-contact detection of the longitudinal position of defects in the magnetic sample. The equipment was also used to perform eddy current testing and to measure the eddy current response magnetic field distribution originating from the slit in the sample.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、比較的低コストで効率よく長大なパイプなどの構造物の欠陥を、非接触ガイド波試験で検出し、欠陥評価に必要な欠陥の位置だけでなく欠陥形状に関する情報を渦電流探傷法で計測できる、ロボット型非破壊検査技術・装置を開発した。本装置は以前共同研究を行っていた非破壊検査企業と技術相談し、技術移転を行っていく予定である。このように、新しい非接触検査技術を開発し、持続可能な社会を実現する非破壊検査の現場に技術を還元することで、学術的にも社会的にも意義の高い研究成果となることが期待される。
