Program Purpose:

Corrosion is a common problem across multiple industries, petrochemical, aerospace or civil infrastructure tox000D
name a few. The corrosion is in many cases partially accessible or completely inaccessible which preventsx000D
visual inspection or the use of more advanced methods such as ultrasonic thickness gauging or eddy currentx000D
techniques. The latter two techniques are slow and tedious when a large area must be scanned. The need for ax000D
rapid, accurate, long range inspection technique to estimate the remnant thickness in a structure is thereforex000D
high. In the collaboration with Olympus NDT Canada, a electromagnetic acoustic transducer concept will bex000D
evaluated for a corrosion monitoring technique based on high order shear horizontal modes.
