Ultrasonic measurement probe and measurement method for residual stress of workpiece with irregular surface
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nondestructive testing, and particularly relates to a residual stress ultrasonic measuring probe for an irregular surface workpiece.
Background
Residual stress in the workpiece often causes fatigue failure, deformation and the like of the workpiece, and has great influence on service performance and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece. Meanwhile, the region with concentrated residual stress is often the part of the workpiece where cracks are easily generated, and the accurate measurement of the residual stress distribution and the residual stress level has very important significance for monitoring the service condition of the workpiece.
The gas turbine compressor blade is a core component of a gas turbine for applying work to gas compression, and the blade is often in a complex stress state due to the action of airflow impact force, centrifugal force and the like in the operation process, so that the local stress concentration of the blade is caused, and the plastic deformation of local materials is caused to generate residual stress.
At present, the most common residual stress measurement method is a critical refraction longitudinal wave method, and generally a transmission-receiving type ultrasonic detection mode is adopted for stress measurement. However, for the workpieces with irregular surfaces, such as the compressor blades, due to the complex and changeable profile, the good coupling of the probe and the workpiece surface is seriously influenced, so that the residual stress measurement of parts with large curvature change of the compressor blades is difficult to implement.
In order to overcome the defects, the ultrasonic measuring probe for the residual stress of the workpiece with the irregular surface is designed to achieve good coupling with the surface of the workpiece with larger curvature change, and realize high-precision ultrasonic detection of the residual stress of the workpiece with the irregular surface.

The first and second conformal protective films 103 and 203 are fitted to the lower surfaces of the first and second lateral focusing wedges 102 and 202, respectively.
The acoustic impedance of the first conformal protective film 103 should be between the first transverse focusing wedge 102 and the workpiece to be detected, and the acoustic impedance of the second conformal protective film 203 should be between the second transverse focusing wedge 202 and the workpiece to be detected, so as to ensure that a high proportion of ultrasonic waves are transmitted into the workpiece.
